It is illegal to be drunk in charge of any vessel on British Waterways.
How stringently it is applied, and what the definition of 'drunk' is, I don't know.
I have had many holidays on the Norfolk Broads and seen a lot of very merry people steering their boats. The Police only seem to get involved if the behaviour is an obvious danger or disturbance.
