Most states require the blood-alcohol content of a boat operator to be lower than .08. In Georgia, the legal alcohol limit for boat drivers is .10, even though Georgians who get behind the wheel of a car must keep their blood-alcohol content below .08. This year, legislation to lower the limit to .08 was approved in Georgia's House but died in a Senate committee.
