Councillor Theobald's ban on street drinking will affect groups drinking and winding each other up to cause trouble and verbally abusing shoppers, holidaymakers and so on, rather than isolated cases of one person walking along drinking a can of beer.
The police can easily deal with trouble by pouring its cause down the nearest drain or confiscating it. With the price of beer, I think the troublemakers will soon get the message and go somewhere away from normally populated areas.
