As the captain/owner/pilot/OIC or whatever you want to call it I have the legal and moral responsibility for the safety of everyone aboard. There are very few rules on my boat. One is, there must be one stone cold sober person onboard at all times. And that's me. Everyone else is permitted to drink. Women are encouraged to do so.

And I'm no teetotaling Baptist, I enjoy my intoxicants. But I control them, they don't control me.
