Let me start by saying that the only time I drink on the boat is when it's at my dock.
Heard from a friend who does some Coast Guard Aux. work that KY considers ANY open beverage on a boat to be illegal. KY considers the waterways a public place. Hard to believe that you can't hand the wife a glass of wine, by definition, while doing an evening cruise.
What is your experience with laws like this? Do they really care, or is it a law they can use against you if they see something else (like recklessness or a disturbance). I'm not into the floating parties, but would certainly like to enjoy a glass of wine on the hook for the night.
