Most people I know are perfectly capable of having a few drinks without smashing things up or getting into a fight.
You'd likely be kicked out of a pub, party, family gathering if you couldn't behave yourself. Why should that be any different if it's on a train?
I guess this is where we fundamentally disagree. I don't really think that the booze ban makes much of a difference to the train journey environment. It's still like the wild west at times after a night out, partially because the people who are likely to behave antisocially when drunk are already at that stage when they get on but also because there's rarely anything in the way of security or police presence, which further emboldens people looking to carry on.
I don't like the idea that the majority should be restricted due to the misbehaviour of a few, but at least if we could see that it was having a meaningful impact then it'd be easier to accept.
