If you have a choice between littering an open tin of train gin or carrying it in contravention of TfL byelaws, which should you do?

Where is the boundary at Paddington between the applicability of TfL’s railway byelaws and anyone else’s?

@Ben Evans This then means I have unlawfully consumed alcohol and still have an open container of alcohol. Granted the gin may make me care less at this point whether an empty open container of alcohol is still an open container of alcohol.

@Adam @Ben Evans It didn’t actually occur to me at the time that drinking the contents would change the nature of the container.

@kittylyst I am not a lawyer, but I'd assume that the defining feature of a container of alcohol is that it's got alcohol in it. If it was the printing on the label then it would be legal to drink your gin so long as you put it in a milk bottle or whatever first.
