“Open Liquor (boat)”

Is there any other repercussions for open liquor on boat OTHER than the set fine? Is there demerit point or any other related issues?

I stand corrected. That's one screwed up definition.

I know the OPP charged a pedal boat driver with Impaired in 2011.

The charges were withdrawn by the crown so there was no precedent set.
