I've always thought since living overseas that having alcohol on public transport was mad (where I lived it was banned)

However it's came about I agree with banning it here

Thing is, most of Europe seem to manage having relaxed public drinking laws without it causing problems. The issue isn't really people having a beer on the train, its anti-social behaviour. And this is a lazy attempt to try to tackle it - at best.

The questions I'd be asking are:

1) What impact has the alcohol ban on trains had? Are trains now a generally safer environment?

2) What about drinking on the street? Is there more antisocial behaviour in Edinburgh and Aberdeen when compared to the rest of the country? If not, why do we ban public consumption of alcohol in practically every other council area?
