The Oklahoma legislature recently passed a new law that targets operators of boats and watercraft. The new law lowers the legal blood alcohol limit from 0.10 to 0.08 percent.
With this new blood alcohol law in place authorities are strengthening their warnings and advising people to drink responsibly on the water to avoid boating accidents and DUI offenses. The police and park rangers will be paying more attention to boaters operating under the influence and you may soon find yourself facing charges.
Alcohol and the effects when boating.
Things to consider when drinking and boating are dehydration, sun exposure, excessive motion or even boating at night can highly impact the effect of alcohol consumption on your body. These aspects will promote poor coordination, enhanced inattention and delayed reaction time.
