Okay, being an Ontario boy this beer in a boat thing in BC is taking me some time to figure out.
In Ontario if you own a boat and it doesn't have a head and a rack you aren't allowed to even have liquour on board. If you have a head and a rack (and a bucket and a sleeping bag don't count) the only time you are allowed to consume it is at anchor.
Things seem a wee bit different in the wild west.... There seems to be very little in the way of what "the law" is in BC published on the web other than that "drunk driving" is going to get you in the same pickle as if you were in your car.
Anyone know what the "law" in BC is? Anyone know what the RCMP actual policy is and how consistent it is across the province? Anyone EVER been given a ticket for passengers "drinking in a public place" while on a small boat???
I'd prefer not to find the answer out to this question the expensive way.....
