That's not a matter of opinion...that is a matter of FACT.
Otherwise you are allowed to drink on your own time...and as long as its not in your system before you show up for work, there is nothing they can say.
I've been subject to random drug testing due to the nature of my jobs for the last 27 years.
They couldn't care less if I drank on my own time....and I've never worried about failing a test because every drug that has gone into my body in that entire time...has been prescribed by a doctor, and as a result...would not have caused me to fail.
If you accepted responsibility...you would not have drank....if you did not drink then you wouldn't have been sweating passing your test.
There are no Dynamics that REQUIRE you to get drunk or use illegal drugs....those are called personal decisions. And I don't have to know you personally...all I have to do is know how drunks and drug addicts behave. They are a lot more predictable than you think they are. And one trait they all share is they think they can lie and make up excuses to try to explain why they shouldn't have to do what they are legally supposed to do.
Perhaps when your daughter, mother, girlfriend or wife...anyone close to you gets killed as the result of some drunks decision..or some drug addicts action....then the severity of this might finally sink into your skull.
I've had TWO girlfriends in my life get killed by drunks as well as several friends. I don't have any sympathy for those who are or their excuses as long as they continue.
