Operator, 19, was operating a PWC on Lake McQueeney.  Operator was heading downstream when he says a boat was heading upstream on his side of the lake.  Operator says he moved over to the right and as the boat past, he turned to his passenger on the back of the PWC and said "that was close".  When he turned back around he hit a PWC that was in a boat lift.  After hitting the PWC he hit the dock that was next to the lift.  Operator stated that he grabbed his passenger and jumped in the water before hitting the dock.  Operator admitted to having 2-3 beers before operating the PWC and he says he had 2-3 beers after getting back to the house because he was shaken up.  When asked why he didn't just slow down when he saw the boat on his side, he said he didn't think about it.   Both operator and passenger said they were wearing PFD's.
