Is it legal (not saying wise) to operate a boat and drink from an open container of alcohol in the state of Alabama?  I know it is not legal to operate a boat when drunk, but that is not my question.

I want to say there was a post several years ago from the Marine Police that the simple fact that one might be piloting a boat and consuming an alcoholic beverage is not by itself illegal.  I welcome a Marine Police response if I do not remember correctly.  That being said, if one is impaired that person should not be operating a boat.  Period.

Not against the law to drink and drive boat.  Been stopped with an open container.  Talked about it with officer and no issues.  As stated the obvious....can't be over limit.

I believe i

there is an open container law for vehicle operation.  I think it is a $25 fine.  I believe that is probable cause to give a breath test.  I.m not sure if the law is different on the water.

No person shall drive or be in actual physical control of a vessel or manipulate any water skis, aquaplane, or any other marine transportation device while: there is 0.08% or more by weight of alcohol in the blood.
