Which is true about operating a boat in Alabama while intoxicated?

  1. It is allowed if under a certain speed

  2. It is ignored by law enforcement

  3. No laws apply to boating and alcohol

  4. By operating a vessel on Alabama waters, a boater must submit to testing for BAC

The correct answer is: By operating a vessel on Alabama waters, a boater must submit to testing for BAC

Driving a boat under the influence of alcohol is just as serious as driving a car while intoxicated. Be aware that Alabama's boat operators are held to the same standards as motor vehicle operators and that the blood alcohol limit for boating is the same as the limit for driving a car. Option A cannot be correct because there is no “slow down and you won’t get caught” law. Option B is incorrect as well, the state of Alabama enforces boating and alcohol laws strictly. Option C is not correct either, as driving a boat under the influence is against the law, and there are consequences for doing so. So, by operating a vessel on Alabama waters, a boater must submit to testing for BAC.
