Jazzperch1, legally you are fine to drink in your tube as long as it does not have a motor. But if you attach a motor to it, then it is illegal. Also not endorsing it, just like I wouldn't recomend people drink too much and swim.
TroutBumDave, regarding whether you could get an open container violation if you did not have a drink while operating a motorboat, but had one beforehand and your buddies were still drinking while you were opearting the motorboat, the answer is probably yes. But it is actually not against the law to do that as long as you were under .08. What I mean is that a cop could get
by what was going on and write you a citation, even though you (I say you just for an example since you don't drink) did not actually do anything wrong.
