Is the LIRR Booze Ban a Good Idea?

The railroad says the goal is to control unruly passengers.

On Friday, the Long Island Rail Road banned alcohol on weekend trains coming out of Penn Station. 

All trains from midnight to 5 a.m. are now alcohol free and booze is also banned on LIRR platforms.

The goal is to reduce the number of disorderly passengers and protect train crews from unruly riders, the LIRR said.

What do you think of the idea? Is drinking a problem on the LIRR? Tell us in the poll or share your thoughts as a comment below.
