Deutsche Bahn is planning to introduce a ban on drinking alcohol at all train stations in a bid to improve security.
The ban is scheduled to go into force by mid-October, with only restaurants and bars on railway premises, as well as restaurants on the trains themselves, to be exempted.
Some large stations, such as Berlin, Hamburg and Cologne, already have such a ban in place.

One more reason to use DB less. Yes, I like my beer once in a while, especially on a train.

Guess they decided and still can’t finish Stuttgart because they are all blackout drunk ?
How did the security guard fall ***from*** a moving train? Was the train door properly locked, or it’s due to a drunk passenger released the emergency door handle? Seems to be a major security compromise here before catalyzing this to the alcohol ban.

Just like the smoking ban that no one cares about?

Stations – sure. But banning people from having a beer on a long distance trains is silly. If they’re not willing to deal with abusive people simply for being abusive, they won’t be dealing with them for having a drink either. They will just end up fining regular passengers who aren’t the issue and will politely accept it.

I can understand why they’re doing this. I’m not sure it will help much, though: there’s nothing to stop you arriving at the station already drunk, and some habitual drunkards can be very good at hiding their intoxication.

I imagine at carnival the police will be looking away because there’s no way that’s enforceable at that time.

This has already been the case in Cologne for at least a couple of weeks now (heard the announcement for the first time a few weeks ago, then again this past sunday) but at least for now it seems like it’s not enforced at all

Long overdue

Maybe this will help reducing smell of alcohol-fueled piss in the elevator?

“The planned ban has been prompted by [**an incident on Friday**](https://www.dw.com/en/germany-news-merz-moots-cabinet-reshuffle-after-spahn-exit/live-78016025) in which a railway security guard fell from a moving train, sustaining critical injuries, after an altercation with a drunken passenger during a ticket inspection.”
