Does anyone know if the open container law for adult beverages such as beer DOES NOT apply to boats? It obviously applies to cars, but is it also the law for boats? At least one inquiring mind here wants to know!

From todays Union Leader email comments dept: "I was wondering why there is not an "open" container law when it comes to boats. Is there something special about them that makes them safer when the passengers are all drunk, as opposed to drunk passengers in an automobile?"
