Nice of everyone to turn up and prove a policy right! I'd suggest the next move to be to launch a civil action against the organisers to pay for the policing and, more importantly, the clean up.

Michael, London, UK

THANK YOU BORIS!
Get the drunks off the tube!!

Ade, London,

If any further proof were needed that alcohol should be banned from the Underground, this is it.

Rob J, London,

HA HA, OH WOW!
David Mudkips is the best name ever.
Nice work anon keep up the good work

Jambob, Bradford,

London's clubs are so expensive that the only way to get the alcohol in your system required to enjoy them (and believe me, you need it) was to drink on the tube on the way up. What are students supposed to do now? Thanks Boris.
I am aware that no one is going to give me sympathy for this comment

James, Leeds, UK

Was alcohol on tubes really such a big problem?
I don't live in London, but I visit regularly. I've never seen any alcohol on the tube at all.
Well, drinking on the tube's not something I'd do, or like to see being done, so I suppose I support the ban.

Adam, Oxford,

Bit of an own goal by Boris, I fear. I came across a 'circle line party' back in 2004 and very nice it was too, about 30 people giving out drinks and generally having a good time, polite and chatty. Made everyone feel welcome. Quite a different story last night!

Guido, London, UK

Extraordinary behaviour, very juvenile.

WA, Oxfordshire,

what was the point? who wants to sit on a hot tube going in circles for hours or an overcrowded tube station and get drunk? surely drinking on public transport wasn't that ubiquitous beforehand that people think they need one last hurrah?

Alex, London, England

How sad... if people have nothing better to do than drink on a train on a saturday (or any) night. Are we that desperate to drink alcohol that you need to do it on a train? "well done everyone involved". yes - more tax payers money wasted on extra police, damage to trains, and cleaners. well done!

Simon, London, UK

I was against the ban, but also against the protest. The drunken behaviour, and in particular the smoking on the carriages, was reckless, dangerous and a burden on other travellers. It unwittingly gave ammunition to those who advocated the ban in the first place. I think it was a misguided response.

GC, London,

Dave, London says:
"It was a bit loud but fairly well behaved"
then
"extremely badly handled by the driver and TFL"

The Good, the Bad and the Drunken eh Dave ?

Anna, London, UK

The disgusting behaviour simply proves that it is right to implement a ban!

Sally Roberts, London, United Kingdom

These people are such "characters".

Chris, London,

Hoorah for the British sense of occasion.
Ever since Guido made other forms of protest less appealing we have excelled at ridiculing the Establishment in this way.
Well done everyone involved!
Btw, Im not against law enforcement but I am against 'broad brush' techniques such as these.

Phil Austin, RAUNDS, England

I was at Liverpool Street, where the most mild mannered of my extremely responsible friends was accosted by a policeman and asked to leave the station for throwing missiles into the crowd from the upper level, despite the fact that we had been on the lower level throughout.

Jerry B, London,

I was with the party for the first 40ish mins. It was a bit loud but fairly well behaved. Then we got stuck in a tunnel for roughly 30 mins, and the whole situation seemed to be extremely badly handled by the driver and TFL.

Dave, London,

My partner, who had to travel home late from work tonight (Saturday) described the level of loutish drunken behaviour more excessive than usual and very frightening and intimidating. This surely proves Boris's point.

Derek Barnes, London, UK

Crime is such a problem because we are treated like small kids We are treated like idiots and little children. What do children like doing? exactly what you tell them not to. This ban will only lead to people replacing beer cans with spirits hidden in containers leading to higher crime. Fix up BORIS

George, London, Islington, England

New Mayor, old policy!!! Where is the difference?

Yanko, SG, CH

People will just pour alcohol into empty soft drinks cans/bottles. Opps, should I have said that? :-)
