To save money on a PFD, can I just wear bib overalls and stuff all my empty beer cans in the pockets?
Would I be more in accord with the law if I used empty twist off cap beer bottles and reinstalled the cap?

Since alcohol is not as dense as water you could fill your pockets with full aluminum bottles of beer (they float) then drink the beer, replace the caps and put the empty bottles back in your pockets as the day progresses.


Or, if you drank enough beforehand, you could get your blood alcohol level to the point where you'd be naturally buoyant. That's feels better than a inflatable PFD.

Ya know I tried that several times and it only worked so long as the water wasn't too cold and my stomach muscles didn't contract.
