Honestly, I would have no problem with someone that uses alcohol or short term drugs on their own time. As long as they are wroking and not doing it on my dime, like welfare. Problem is with the hard drugs. Meth and Cocaine (in whichever form) addicts. If they use at night, they are most likely going to be up most of the night and most likely going to be using before and maybe at work. If not, they will be coming down and hung over or jonsing so bad they wont be able to function.
This isnt speculation, Ive seen it.
Never the less, if I ran a business where my employees could put someone at danger and therefore up my liability, I would definitly have drug testing. As it is, our workers are contract agents. And in our line of work, they would be fools to go to the booking room of the jail to write a bond under the influence. It kinda takes care of itself.
I can understand someone that owns a factory or a trucking company or whatever wanting drug testing. What you do on your off time IS their business if its going to affect your work as well.
