To both of you, how many incidents where someone has gotten drunk on the tube and started a fight do you consider unacceptable? 10? 30? 150?
Personally I don't consider a single incident like that acceptable.

I have used it regularly (almost every day) for 20 odd years and never seen a drunken fight, I have seen plenty of football fights and one **** bag hit a blind man who bumped into him.
I notice our mayor hasn't banned booze at Henley, I am sure the toffs shouldn't really be getting on those boats after drinking all that champers, anything could happen, or is it one rule for the stinking rich and another for every one else. As I said earlier, perhaps it's also escaped his attention that you can buy a drink on certain trains into the city as well.
Whilst we are on this nannying/moral crusade we have a lot of gun crime, therefore perhaps anyform of gun, replica, toy, sporting or otherwise should be banned to avoid gun glorification
