You rightly spot, a reference to 'boatdrinks' in the film 'Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead'.
However, it should be recalled, that in the film, the character played by Jack Warden, explained the significance of the references to boatdrinks.
After the hurly-burly of earlier years, players aspired to an easy life, perhaps cruising at sea on their boats. Perhaps a little fishing could be done. However, now, in their later years, nothing exemplified their new status of enjoying the rich fruits and rewards of their previous lives, than to merely indulge in boatdrinks whilst aboard. As this was the aspiration of those players, then wishing 'boatdrinks' to their fellows, was their way of stating their best wishes to them.
In the film, sadly, things did not work out quite as expected. However, those players did get one heavenly final scene.
I myself am in rude health, and like Mark Twain, say that reports of my death are greatly exaggerated. I am in the fortunate position, of being able to take things easy, and enjoy life. So it's boatdrinks for me, and may I wish boatdrinks to all of you!
