Boating Under the Influence (BUI) is just as dangerous as driving under the influence. Alcohol and drugs impair judgment, balance, coordination, and reaction timeโcritical skills needed for safe boating. Operating a boat while impaired puts everyone on the water at risk and can lead to serious accidents, injuries, legal penalties, and even fatalities. Make safety a priority: designate a sober operator, wear life jackets, and enjoy the water responsibly. ๐คโ
