Ho-ho-ho: Booze is banned on trains & in stations, MTA warns SantaCon NYC drunkards
Saturday’s debauchery likely to be another vomit-filled mess
The normally alcohol-friendly Long Island Railroad and Metro-North are battening down the hatches with an alcohol ban for this weekend’s debauched Christmas-themed pub crawl, SantaCon NYC.
Grinches (aka MTA police) will be enforcing the ban on trains and in stations including Penn Station, Grand Central Terminal and other stations frequently overrun with thousands of reeling, inebriated Kris Kringles and Rudolphs.
Alcohol-toting Santas will have their beverages confiscated and will receive a summons carrying a fine or imprisonment, MTA said in a release. Violators may also be booted from the train or station by police.
