Health Tip: Drinking and Boating Don’t Mix
By LadyLively on June 12, 2019
In most states, laws for drinking and boating are similar to those governing drinking and driving.
Boating laws apply to most any boat, including canoes, kayaks and rowboats. Alcohol is the top contributor to boating accidents, says the American Addiction Centers.
