Tube closed

Turns out that drinking alcohol is just banned in the London Tube - Was it even allowed in the first place??!?!
Wonder if there's a similar ban on the MRT. Maybe people drink to numb the pain of squeezing with the crowd in the London underground.

Now, what's hilarious is that before the ban came into force, people gathered in the London Tube to drink and party away!! So as, as one commuter put it, to show that it is possible to drink and travel on the tube responsibly. K, if you don't already know, the British and alcohol are a potent cocktail, and what started out as a small party ended up with Tube stations closed, people arrested and, I would imagine, lots of cleaning up the next morning. haha...
