We usually take a Platty or two.  One always has Crown Royal.  The other Platty contains another whiskey which various from each trip.   The Platty makes 2-4 trips around the campfire in the evening.  We usually drink it straight up, but sometimes it gets cut with water.

As others have stated, having some adult beverage enhances the canoe experience when done in moderation.

A couple of us like to smoke cigars around the campfire in the evening also.

We don't need the booze or cigars on the trips, but it is our reward at the end of a hard day's work.

I have never been drunk in canoe country and I never will get drunk in canoe country.  Time is too precious up there to waste on being drunk.
