Sounds like personal preference to me. It's really not my business, as long as I am not affected by it. I am however, affected and offended by cans and bottles left behind and by loud, offensive, and careless fellow sportsmen. I rarely, if ever have alcohol on board. I can guarantee you all that I have never left a can or a bottle behind. For those of you that feel that they just cannot make it through 6 hours on the river without "knocking down a few" I am truley sorry. But admit it! It won't get left on the bank if it is not brought there in the first
place. My vote...leave it at home. It will be there when you get back...I promise!
