I believe it is based on the 1995 film 'Things to do in Denver when you're dead': When life is over you can only hope to be sitting on a boat with all the pleasant people in life having 'boat drinks'.

If I am not mistaken, that part of the film was a reference to the 1979 Jimmy Buffet song of the same name

I think it comes from Things To Do In Denver When You Are Dead and refers to drinks with friends, ideally on a boat.

And welcome. Nice to have another Scot aboard.

//edit gah I spent too long checking up to make sure I got the reference right and was beaten like a mangy cur.

Pretty much spot on there from KK.

BD started out when people started to get booted from another forum with a gangster theme TTDIDWYD is about double crossing and power crazed old men so it kinda seemed to fit, Boat Drinks are effectively what you have when you go to heaven and you no longer have to watch your back

Yeah I just noticed the tagline on the logo on the top left of the page which suddenly makes the film reference all the more obvious
