You have not ever seen a real party until you travel the Coaster train to a football or baseball game.
At first three years ago I did not like the idea of traveling with a bunch of drunks. Cut today, I feel like joining them. Way before game time, the party begins. It does not matter if the San Diego Padres dwell in the cellar, or have a good team.
The people of San Diego will use any excuse to party. They are party animals and live and die with their teams. A couple of weeks ago, the Oakland Raider fans came to to San Diego. Each showed off a jersey with a player's name on it.
Many had taken Amtrak which allows you to buy drinks but not board with them. For the Coaster, it is a free-for-all who can drink the most.
It is better to do it than when driving your car. Anyone driving int the city knows it is hell to take the 5 all the way to downtown, and I mean anytime. And if that isn't all, try to find a parking spot. Also after the games, they can't bring alcohol on board, a good idea. It gives them time to sober up before the drive home.
Yet when there is no game in town, it is quite reasonable to ask passengers not to drink since it is a commuter train most of the time.
