 |
|
| Does this ban mean that someone buying alcohol & carying it home on the tube can now be arrested?If a person is given a gift of a bottle of wine & has to take the tube home, will they be arrested & the alcohol confiscated?Am I the only person that sees huge problems ahead in policing this? |

| Surely it must only apply if they are actually drinking it. I totally agree with the ban. I was surprised that it wasn't already illegal. |

| It's only open containers. If the seal is unbroken and you're on your way back from M&S with a bottle of wine then no problem. |

| Its the government again trying to control exactly what we do. We are an absolute nanny state. Next they will be telling us what to eat what to wear. They are just trying to control our every actions. Where I live you can't smoke inside, you can't drink outside. Every little pleasure we have in life is slowly being taken away from us. Look at these plans to sell tobacco from under shop counters. They are making it sound illegal. It's absolutely ridiculous, all of it. We are nothing but glorified money making machines for people to make ridiculous decisions. |

| Boris is taking the bull by the horns.People complain of antisocial behaviour and this is a positive step towards tackling it.Generally speaking I am loathe to accept increasing legislation,however drinking on public transport is extremely antisocial and intimidating to others.Only people who are inconsiderate louts would be doing this in the first place.I dont know the exact rules about travelling with alcohol,but an educated guess would be that carrying it is obviously acceptable. |

| A ban of open containers of alcohol would make more sense. |

| If it's open you can't, if it's unopened you can - seems moderately straight forward. Then again it would probably have to be for Boris. |

| The problem is that it only stops people drinking on public transport, but doesn't stop aggresive drunks getting on in the first place. |

| What happens if you have been round to a friends house and taken a bottle of scotch with you, had a couple of drinks, then taken the rest of the (opened) bottle home? If the bottle was in a bag, and you weren't drinking it, could you still be fined? If so, then thats pathetic. |
