I'm part of a supporters group and looking at a potential loophole in the law regarding the consumption of alcohol based on the EU vs Domestic driving rules.
If a coach was chartered for 2x separate journeys with supporters buying 2x separate tickets, would it be legal to consume alcohol during the 1st leg of the journey?
Example using away game against Liverpool or Everton.........
Journey 1:
- Newcastle to a services in Greater Manchester
* Coach hire not travelling to 'designated sporting event'
Journey 2:
- Services in Greater Manchester to Anfield or Goodison Park
* Coach hire travelling to 'designated sporting event'
