Starting 1 May....the Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof (main station)....booze control goes into effect. NO consumption of alcohol within the boundary of the station.
You can still buy beer, wine, booze....but you can't drink it or walk around with a open-container within the train-station.
Reason? Well....mostly goes to safety aspects....too many drunks.
In my hanging-around-Frankfurt years....I probably crossed through the station a thousand-odd times. On a Friday or Saturday night....you'd observe dozens of drunks. Most were happy-types...not causing trouble. The past decade? Between drugs and booze....you see weekly police-reports about incidents.
This turning into a magnet for cop-trouble? Yeah.
