Question coggy, should those with no self control who drank on the tube be stopped from drinking, or were you quite happy for people with no self control to get blotto on the tube while on the way to a night out?

That's a nice collection of straw men you've got there. The issue seems to be that there wasn't really a problem with people drinking on the Tube in the first place (until last Saturday that is). So why bring in a ban on something that isn't a problem in the first place?
