Pubic Drinking Ban?

BBC news report
Transport drinking ban attacked
A proposed ban on drinking
alcohol on trains and buses
is "another example of the
Labour nanny state", say the
government's political rivals.
Ministers said the move was designed to protect people
from drunken yobs, and no decision had been made.
They and the Lib Dems said it was absurd to ban drinking
on trains and buses while letting pubs open 24 hours.
The proposed ban, which is unlikely to include flights,
is thought to have some police backing.
