Thread starter matt Start date Jul 11, I am visiting college friends and would like to pregame before I get there, I know on metro north trains you can drink in the open. What is the rule on amtrak trains, and if i am not allowed to bring my own liquor what type of beer do they serve in the cafe car. Not sure about back east, but western trains pretty well shut down drinking in coach. Too many kids. You could purchase drinks in the lounge car, but not sure if you could get away with your own bottle.

About the only place you could bring your own would be in a sleeper, and that has to be discrete. Joined Sep 15, Messages 4, Location Ohio. The lounge car serves beer, wine, and premium spirits. You may consume them in the lounge car. If you become drunk to the point of bothering other passengers, you should know the conductor has the authority to not only put you off the train but have you arrested in whatever locality you're put off in.

Traveling on Amtrak provides a unique alternative to airplane or bus travel. The rail service serves locations in the U.

Train travel isn't as closely regulated as air travel, and if you prefer packing a lunch and a drink to buying refreshments on board, you won't have any issues. With a few stipulations, you're allowed to board your Amtrak train with something to drink during your journey. Amtrak doesn't regulate the type of beverage you take on board, but does require you to drink it in your seat or in your private sleeping car.

You must keep your drink with you, as Amtrak will not store it in its refrigerators. You can't take your own beverages into the train's dining and lounge cars. In these areas, you must buy drinks from Amtrak if you're thirsty. Amtrak sells alcoholic beverages on its trains, but if you're particularly partial to a specific wine, beer or liquor, you're permitted to board with the drink and consume it during your trip.

So Amtrak has a policy that bans high-bandwidth applications like Netflix. Table of Contents.
