It did occur to me that those who wish to continue drinking alcohol on
the Tube will just get round the new rule by carrying it mixed with a
soft drink in the appropriate soft drink container.

Long ago and far away, a friend of mine had an enormous number of
soft-drink cans that contained beer.

How long ago? Beer actually doesn't maintain its quality for more
than a relatively short period of time.

Arguments will vary, but 120 - 180 days seem to be mentioned as a
rough time frame for canned/bottled brews, i.e. four to six months.


He worked for a brewery that had bought a new canning machine which had
to be tested before the cans arrived, so they used whatever they could
get that would work in the machine. Of course it was illegal to sell
them, and may even have been illegal to give them away, so they put them
on pallets under a tarpaulin at the back of the brewery yard, and
'forgot' about them. They're still there, of course .

My friend liked to give them to thirsty friends and acquaintances
without warning so he could enjoy the reaction.
