I can just imagine the looks I'd get if I produced a glass flute and cracked open a bottle of champagne on a Monday evening on the London Bridge to Littlehampton....

I saw some people do that at half seven in the morning once!
To be fair one of the blokes was retiring and it was his last day of commuting.

It's bizarre that in London, if you travel from, say, Waterloo to Putney by train, it's OK to have a few tinnies. If you do the same trip by tube or bus, you can get arrested if you're drinking. I'm not quite sure what trains are supposed to have that stops people getting drunk but, whatever it is, it's not working.

Is it acceptable in today society? I often have a couple of cans on my way home from worthing to h eath but do get a few disaproving looks. Discuss:drink:

I would say if you tend to make it part of your daily commute then its a bad thing. Far too easy to slip into a routine of doing that. It's not exactly a long journey. And if there's somebody waiting for you at the other end they're unlikely to be impressed.

Nobody's business is it ? People don't like it they should sit elsewhere.

Definately tinnies on the way home from work and MOST definately on the way to away games.

What about those half bottles of wine though?

Perfectly acceptable.

I had a four pack conviscated off me once by the Police, I think it was on a Virgin train so maybe they have some rule? I don't know. To be honest, I was sitting in the storage area on my own looking distinctly dishevelled on a long train journey to see a girlfriend. I probably looked like a down and out.

A long away trip on the train wouldn't be the same without a few!

Good job they didn't try that on the Virgin train to Villa last season!

It's been a while since you commuted, but there is now a group of women on there who drink vodka (plastic cups, I think), seemingly most evenings of the week.

Only drink cans on Saturdays. Exeter away I boarded the train at Hove at 9am with 8 tins of Carlsberg export and opened one straight away. Conductor said morning sir, you wouldn’t be off to football by any chance.

Drank them all before I arrived. Had 5 pints before the match and another 8 cans for the home journey. Usually only have 4 there and back but knew it was going to be a good day out so thought I’d hit the running hard.

Your mental:lolol: where are these pics of 100 bha lads up Queens Rd?
