I guide out of a resort in S.E. Ak which is located in calm, protected water, most of our fishing is on or near ocean water, a number of first time guest show up the first day with beer and proceed to consume quite a bit on the way to the fishing grounds (about an hour run) it doesn't take long once we hit the big water for them to see the error in their ways and I don't often see much more beer brought on board.
