What is so morally wrong with me having alcohol in my vehicle, whether it be a boat or car? I won't argue with the truck or train, as those are completely different scenarios. One should not carry alcohol in a business vehicle. Where I work there are rules against that.

Again, the vehicle (my personal vehicle) is being used as transportation. It is perfectly legal. Alcohol is perfectly legal to purchase, transport and even drink. I know that is hard to believe, but it is still legal to drink alcohol. The horror.
If it was morally wrong for me to carry alcohol in my car, how would I get it home from the store?
If it was morally wrong for me to carry alcohol in my boat, how would I get it to my island home (if I had an island home for example)? How would I get it from my lakefront home, to a friends house where I was staying the night?

If alcohol was not morally acceptable, how would I drink the blessed sacrament in church?

Seriously APS, alcohol is legal and morally accepted by most people.

Let me give you one scenario here. I was driving home from work one Friday, and stopped to pick up a 30 pack to enjoy over the weekend, perhaps with some friends. While driving home from the store, I was pulled over for speeding. Other than a speeding ticket, what am I being charged with for transporting the alcohol to my house? What do my neighbors think of me for bringing home some beer...in my car?
