Police state, nanny state are for public domain. Remember all these laws are inforced in the public or social realm. We have to accept limitations placed on individuals in a social setting else survival of the fittest would be our only law like it was once upon a time.
If you want to drink, go to a bar, if you want to screw get a room, if you want to be naked go home and get naked. Freedom to do what you want in your space, not in everyone else's.
It seems that more people get rowdy and loud when they drink than quiet. Plus, I had a stranger throw up PINK all over me one time and that was one of the grossest things ever!!
Here in Atlanta, they throw you off the train if you are drunk and disorderly. That's usually a good thing. Drunk people in public are usually obnoxious.-That being said, I voted not to change the law, because it's a law binding Londoners, and I don't really have the right to say that they should change their laws over there. I've never been to London, so I can neither agree nor disagree with the necessity of this law.
In the sense that people should not be drinking on public transportation as in the article, sure. They should not ban someone who bought alcohol and is taking it home to consume therem though
Prohibition in the UK, it didn’t work here.
you mean drinking it, not transporting it, right?
Yes. It's like what John Stuart Mill said about liberty: “Your right to swing your fist stops where my face begins.”
