In an ideal world, of course. It's illegal to be intoxicated on the railway (and on the TfL network in London, carrying open alcohol containers and drinking alcohol is banned), but enforcement is very, very low. It would require a huge cultural change to alcohol in this country which nobody seems willing to embrace. Hilariously we also have "beer trail" services and routes, specifically designed to promote a pub crawl using trains. We really do have bad relationship with alcohol in the UK.
