It isnt that drinking is being banned as such .It is drinking in inappropriate places which is being banned and nothing wrong with that. I do not want to see people quaffing alcohol from cans and bottles on public transport,belching their fumes and inflicting their raucous behaviour on the travelling public. How can that be acceptable to anyone? Drinking of alcohol must only take place in licensed premises or in the privacy of ones own home. Simple-black and white...how can anyone object to that?

BBKing>What will you ban next? I spent last night sitting at a table on a South London street outside a pub enjoying a few pints of London Pride and good conversation - should I make the most of it because that'll surely be next if the country is really full of 'right-minded' self-righteous morlocks, killjoys and puritans who think such a pleasant way of passing the time is 'bad form,bad mannered and unacceptable'. Pshaw.<

And good luck to you BB and i hope you had a splendid time. Your evening took place within the boundaries of a licenced premise,you had a good time and presumably didnt vomit,belch verbally or physically assault someone? Great,but that is a world away from swigging a bottle of WKD whilst lollopping around a railway carriage and making a damn nuisance of yourself..
