A local government council in London is facing a political issue due to a proposal. The proposal aims to limit a certain behavior in pubs. This behavior is referred to as "vertical drinking" by the council, which means having a drink while standing.

The plan has been met with criticism from pub landlords and politicians in the UK. Further details about the proposal and the reaction it has received are available from ABC13 Houston, which reported on the issue from The Woodlands, TX.
