Weekends after the bars close. But the report still seems to use the national estimates of reported violations, rather than determining whether the intimate nature of alaska's primarily isolated small communities affects the level of reporting upward.
Granted, there can be some frightening drunks around fish processing ports. My son just returned from doing a job in some oilfield guy's hunting cottage up there, and he worked for a couple of trips aboard a local shipping/fish buying boat to get to/from the job. He had stories about some of the local fishing guys that seem to have given him pause about returning to those parts.
