According to some douchebag cop who was working on New Smyrna Beach Labor Day weekend probably 5-6 years ago, upwards of 80% of drowning deaths over the holiday are alcohol related.
At least that’s what he told us when he saw us drinking beer on the beach and told us we had to leave or he’d arrest us. ****ing prick.
If I want to get drunk and drown in the ocean, I should be able to do it!
In all seriousness, I really don’t **** with swimming in the ocean too much. Occasionally I’ll catch myself pushing it and realize I can’t touch the floor anymore and make my way back closer to shore. You can easily swim in chest-deep water so there really is no point in swimming past the point you can touch. I’m not much of a daredevil and even I can admit I really only do it for the thrill. It’s just not worth the risk, though.
