Big chunks of Scotland (almost all now I think) have bans on people drinking alcohol in public and have done for a number of years.

Can't really see that much of an issue with it. If you want a drink out in the open there are plenty of bars with beer gardens kicking about. It does help get the Buckfast brigade and 'gentlemen of leisure' off the streets instead of stoating about with a half drunk bottle of vodka hassling folk.

And 17 arrests? After the big, bad Scottish hooligans destroyed Manchester city centre (according to the media) there were only 42 arrests. So were things only half as bad on the tube as in Manchester?
