Drinking on the tube is not a problem that warrants a blanket ban, especially when its not being implemented on other forms of public transport. I bet if you could get a drinks trolley onto the tube easily it wouldnt be banned.
I do find it strange that someone who doesnt live in London, doesnt use the tube every day, doesnt work on the tube, can feel that he is more qualified in this argument then those that use and work on the tube every single day.

I've been the victim of drunken violence on the tube. Sorry if that means I can't post saying that I'd rather those youths who were merrily drinking stella before getting nasty were actually prevented from getting drunk and therefore getting violent.
Never mind eh? It's only one case, from someone who doesn't use the tube that often, and doesn't live in London, so it doesn't matter does it? Obviously I was wrong in thinking that the tube was a transportation system and not a public house. You've not seen any problems so there isn't a problem
