With that said, I wouldn't recommend drinking in the harbors, but lots of guys, boats and yakers do outside the harbors. Some beaches have no alcohol regulations, but they don't apply OTW. Just keep in mind that if your checked for any reason, your subject to the laws, as if you were driving a car.
46USC2302(c)/ 33CFR95 states what constitutes as a BUI.

to get a bui charge you still need the .08 bac but yes you can get stopped for your behavior and vessel operation.
