The National Police chief responsible for policing football will advise that the sale of alcohol is restricted to England fans the next time they travel abroad.
The FA were forced to condemn the behaviour of travelling supporters in Seville earlier this week after they clashed with Spanish police.
Deputy chief constable Mark Roberts, the National Police Chiefs' Council Football Policing Lead, believes licensing restrictions need to be considered to prevent further disorder.
'There is too big an element who drink and behave obnoxiously,' DCC Roberts told The Independent.
'It is a minority, but there are far too many, and it would be wrong to try to minimise it as a small minority. There is a significant contingent of people who cannot behave because of alcohol.
He added: 'We are going to describe the behaviour we are going to anticipate, which is fans drinking to excess and becoming disorderly.
'Then the conversation is about how to stop that from happening, and what we think will work well. We can look at banning orders for some, and at the licencing restrictions of host cities, whether that is the closure of places, or fans' ability to buy alcohol from off-licences. We can ask local police to take positive steps with people who cause trouble. The root of this is dealing with alcohol.'
The FA had urged those travelling to Seville to stay away from problem areas and avoid a repeat of scenes that followed the England's last away game in Spain three years ago.
When similar trouble occurred surrounding the friendly against Holland in Amsterdam in March, 13 members of the England Supporters' Travel Club – where members get their tickets directly from the FA - were identified as being among the trouble-makers.
DCC Roberts acknowledges that stopping problem supporters from travelling is tough because they may not have offended before and are not on a list of banned supporters.
He said: 'It is very difficult to stop those people because their behaviour is quite spontaneous.'
He also likened some of fans' attitudes on trips abroad to that of stag parties, where large groups travel in numbers and have a mentality that 'is difficult to stop'.
He added: 'They go for a boozy weekend, they are getting drunk, singing completely inappropriate songs and behaving in a way that is confrontational for any locals.
'We have seen deliberately antagonistic behaviour: singing about '10 German bombers' in Dortmund, about Gibraltar in Spain, calculated to push the buttons of locals. It is difficult to break people out of that mentality. It is difficult to stop.
'They do not have travel bans or histories of travel, they can travel normally. But they drink too much and behave badly. How do you stop that?'

Locals should not be subjected to this. The police are calling for local businesses to close so they can't sell alcohol to English idiots. What about their normal customers and their own livelihood? Close them but compensate for loss of earnings. If open compensate for damage caused. The thing is, England fans are notorious for causing trouble whenever they travel. Organised trips only, no alcohol, straight to the stadium, straight home.

Every time England go somewhere, the small percentage of idiots love to shame their country. These people are a disgrace. Feel bad for the normal fans.

Blame the young ticketless fans going for a jolly because one of their friends has a ticket. Seen it too often the younger lot trying to outdo the older mature generation but actually look stupid. And seen some sell their tickets as rather be in the pub but they still get the caps.

That second video where he knocked the wing mirror of the car made me feel sick, some poor person come down to find their pride and joy vandalised. What a disgrace to our nation. No wonder the Russian hooligans want to fight English fans. What miserable lives they must have to act like that. It's funny because they only do stuff like that to show off in front of the other lads. Sad men.
