Does drinking solve any problems?

[JB73]

either he's at the bar now, or lying on the floor paralyzed.

i really hope not the latter.

serious with head injuries please please see a doctor

my father just spent 4 months recovering from one, and can not drink alcohol for another year or he could die from the effects.

No they dont, but they do delay them until the morning, or they cause you even more problems.

This just in...

Nilsen just did about 16000 $ worth of damage to his parents boat and he is still abit shaky, but the alcohol is helping him cope

if you didnt kill anyone the only shame is if you dont learn the lesson. id burn you at stake for being young drunk and playing with boats but that would make me a big hippocrit.

Drinking caused your problem so now you're drinking more to solve it?? Glad you didn't hurt anyone else with your lack of control. and condolances to your Dad. It's obvious from your  posted conversation with your Dad he knows you. Sad that he knew right away you were drinking. Sadder still you had to lie to him. I'll give you credit for replacing the motor, but better you hadn't trashed the original in the first place.

Nobody can drive boats around here without sometime trashing something. In the boathouse at my parents summerhouse i have a "trophy" wall with all the props i have destroyed since my first boat. 5 in total so far + some other stuff. My dad loves sitting on the porch in his fav chair and watch people hitting rocks. He has a book where he grades the crashes and notes the times . When i was a kid and came home with a broken prop he usually had seen my crash and had some paint or whatever ready for me so i could pay for replacing the props by working for it

And btw... i was never drinking to solve the problem, but beeing drunk kida caused it.

Drunken boat driving is stupid, espcially at night.

 I have been first on the scene when a ski boat hit a bridge pier.  The force of the impact drove the passengers legs through the hull.  She was dead.  The driver's brain was splattered on the pier, he was dead.  How would you like to have been the guy on the other end of the ski rope who saw it from a distance of 75'?  His girlfriend and best friend dead, from drinking and driving a boat.

I have towed in a boat that was run over at night by another boat-2 dead, one disabled, drunk driver.

I do stupid things all the time, and im not afraid to admit it either.

[Lizking]

Me too, but not this particular one.

Nils, you are just lucky that you are OK and not living in the US. You would still be in jail and have a myriad of rehabilitation classes/fees/penalties/jailtime ahead of you. We would have suspended your drivers license as well as impounding the boat.

Been there, done that. Glad you are not hurt seriously.

thx, im fine.. wrist still abit sore and a small dent in the old nugget.

The reason for not reporting it to my parents insurance company is because i would need to report the accident to the police and i would suffer atleast some of the consequences that you mentioned above. The alcohol limit for driving boats here is the same as cars.

Yep, BWI and DWI are one in the same here now. Just a suggestion,what about a marker bouy over that rock?
