Question

question 3 of 10
which of the following is a myth associated with drinking and boating?
a drinking increases your chances of falling overboard
b drinking alcohol while operating a boat is not a serious offense
c small amounts of alcohol affect your coordination and judgment
d a bottle of beer produces the same effect as a glass of wine or a drink of liquor

Explanation:

• Option A: Drinking impairs balance and awareness, increasing the risk of falling overboard. This is a fact, not a myth.
• Option B: Operating a boat under the influence is a serious offense (similar to drunk - driving a car in many regions). Claiming it's not serious is a myth.
• Option C: Even small amounts of alcohol can affect coordination and judgment. This is a well - known fact.
• Option D: A bottle of beer, a glass of wine, and a drink of liquor (when considering standard serving sizes) have similar alcohol - content equivalents (in terms of pure alcohol). This is a fact.

Answer:

B. Drinking alcohol while operating a boat is not a serious offense
