Are you allowed to drink alcohol while walking in the street in Britain?!


Question: Are you allowed to drink alcohol while walking in the street in Britain!?
Answers:
Yes, unless there is a bye-law against it, in which case there should be signs posted, usually warning that you can be fined up to £500!. It is also an offense to be 'drunk in a public place', although people are more commonly charged only when 'drunk and disorderly'!. Furthermore, public drinking might be interpreted as 'behaviour likely to cause a breach of the peace'!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Some towns have outlawed drinking in public places, but like much under Labour there is inconsistency and confusion!. Since they've tied up real Police officers with petty bureaucracy and replaced them with plastic Police (PCSO's) who's going to enforce any restrictions!? Personally I don't see why it might be necessary to drink alcohol in the street, but apparently some people think it is!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
