Last orders, who's round is it?

The Londergound is calling last orders on drinking alcohol on its tubes, trains and platforms from June 1st 2008. Its somewhat ironic that the use of the underground at rush hour to get back and forth from work is enough to drive anyone to the drink, but nonetheless
it is happening. To bid farewell to yet another strand of freedom there is to be a cocktail party held on the circle line on the 31st May.

Not to go on a massive rant but it seems to me that to ban the consumption of alcohol on public transport will only serve to deter the average law abiding man or woman who finds themselves with a "bag for life" of booze heading to a party from getting started early on their journey. It will not magically eradicate drunkeness from your journey home. Given that you can still fall out of a Wetherspoons with the remains of a pallet of WKD and a previously enjoyed £1.99 burger and a pint down your front on to the nearest bus or tube. So when you next find yourself sitting next to a member of the great British public, semi comatose and several days unwashed on a tube so packed it would make Hugh Fernley Whittingstall cry... remember to think to yourself how happy you are that our priorities are in order.

Maybe I'm wrong but if you're the kind of guy who enjoys a good stabbing, or gang war then maybe just maybe you won't give two shits about having a drink on the tube...?
