could imagine what a disaster it would be if we were allowed to drink on the subways?

I have definitely drank a sparks or two or five on the train "hiding" it in a brown bag. I am always already intoxicated at this time.

For one night, the usual ritual of "mind the gap" became one of "mind a grope?"

D'oh.

Britain: Dry Subways’ Rough Departure
World Briefing | Europe
By SARAH LYALL
Published: June 3, 2008

London’s new policy of banning alcohol on the subways got off to a poor start when a party called to mark the last night of legal drinking descended into a chaotic free-for-all, with revelers vomiting, urinating, climbing onto train roofs and assaulting and pouring beer on one another, subway workers and police officers. Seventeen people were arrested, six stations were closed and several trains were so badly damaged that they had to be removed from service. The party on the Circle Line on Saturday night was advertised on the Internet. Bob Crow, general secretary of the Rail, Maritime and Transport Union, said that at least 12 union members had been attacked at one station alone.
