I’m sure their journey from the lounge to their eventual boarding gate will have been captured on CCTV.
I do hope they gave all that beer to the whole ET cabin as a 'Robin Hood' move!

All jokes aside, I think what they did was over the top. If someone takes a few cans of coke and some crisps for their BOB flight, I see nothing wrong with that.

If BA really wants to crack down on this, all they have to do, as mentioned up thread, is simply ban cans and make it all draft, including the cokes!
And place crisps into large plates, not leave packets of them to take!

Very simple solution.
With BOB, unless BA changes their offerings, this is bound to happen.

I also feel that it is not up to the OP to 'Police the lounge', it is up to BA's staff to deal with the issue, and at the same time prevent it from happening in the first place.
