Consuming alcohol is no longer permitted at train stations in Germany, to improve the lot of travelers and staff alike. Coalition talks are restarting in Berlin, and an inmate is loose in Essen.

I wonder if it's gonna be one of those things that's technically forbidden but done anyway, like smoking in bars

Smoking in bars is uncommon here. There are ways to circumvent the ban, but they add friction that most bar owners don't want to bother with.

German society is increasingly americanising. Soon we'll be drinking out of brown paper bags.

Ich begrüße die Änderung. Es ist eigentlich peinlich wie der öffentliche Konsum von Drogen so normalisiert ist in Deutschland. Ich würde gerne auch ein generelles Rauchverbot in der Öffentlichkeit haben

sorry hab nicht gesehen dass das ne englische comm ist. bin aber auch zu faul zum neu schreiben

Please inform me beforehand so that I have time to prepare popcorn when you're going to ask football fans to pretty please with sugar on top comply.

The purpose of this measure, btw, is to get rid of homeless people hanging out at stations, nothing more, nothing less.
