The things Daily Mail readers say!

Ban Public Drinking

Trust this government to make a dog's dinner of its alcohol policies. Instead of trying to ban drinking on public transport, why not just ban drinking alcohol in public places? Such a ban would be easy to enforce - walk down the street drinking, and you'd be breaking the law and could expect a trip to the local police station to pay a hefty fine.

And if you didn't have the money to pay a fine, you would either get a night in the cells, an option to pay the fine the following day, or go to court to risk a heavier fine.

Then all the money could go towards paying for more police and keeping police stations open at night.
