Drinking on trains?
Are you allowed to drink on any of the trains in Europe? What about the Premier trains? Can you bring on a few cans of beer on your own or do you have to buy it from the carts? Thanks! =)

Don't know about beer, but I drank wine more than once on trains in Italy. You can buy single-serve cardboard cartons (as well as bottles) in the train station convenience-type stores. I call the cartons "juice boxes for adults," and even brought one home as a souvenir.

I've never been stopped from bringing my own liquor/beer on to trains in Italy/France/Spain/Belgium/Netherlands/Germany. In europe I think bringing a beer onto a train is like bringing a pop onto a train in North America - it's just a refreshment!

I've been on trains all over Europe and wouldn't think of getting on board without a local beer or two. It is cheaper than buying from the bar car or from the guy pushing the cart through the train, which may or may not happen. For overnight trips it's a bottle of wine with my cheese and ham.

The only exception of which I'm aware is particular trains in Britain on which lots of football fans are likely to be travelling - e.g. Edinburgh-Glasgow on a Saturday afternoon when an Edinburgh team is playing in Glasgow or vice versa.
