Given that most incidents late at night involve alcohol consumed a long

views on how we should conduct ourselves? How loud an outcry will there
be from the huge entertainment business sector if there is even a hint
of policy going that way? I assume alcohol is not actually being banned
- just the consumption of it? Otherwise a few supermarkets might lose
some trade from those who doing their shopping and then hop on a bus or
train home.

Having an open container of alcohol will be banned, but otherwise
you'll be allowed to carry it.
