Honestly, I just don't know where to start with this it is so so so so wrong

Yup. Drinking's legal, but your employer has the right to institute alcohol testing and sack you if you fail.

I don't believe this to be true, unless the use of alcohol is in some way linked to the job the employee is being asked to perform i.e. he showed up drunk and could not do his job.

You could argue that the use of alcohol is likely to impair anyone's ability to do their job - any job.

in my younger days working in the hotel bar and restaurant we'd be drinking every night.

An order for 'table 11' was a special order.

We were send out to buy stuff once for the bar. ended up in the pub for a few hours and I came back completely pissed. they just stuck me in the back office for a while.

I strongly suspect that it improves most in the advertising world, to a point

I've just had 2 pints and have got more done this afternoon than I did this morning.......clearly, I'll have to check it all again in the morning

Actually some of my best work has come from being hungover.
I think when you are in that state you mind shuts of unnecessary thinking and you get on with work.

I'm really disappointed in him....for apologizing. Anyone who gets offended over anything ever deserves to be.
And they can **** Off!

A contract that says you must not be under the influence of alcohol when performing your duties and a contract that says you are not allowed to drink alcohol at all are very different things. I think Burney meant that an employer could test you during working hours for an amount of alcohol deemed to be sufficient to prevent you from performing your duties. That is certainly true.

I think it's a good decision, honestly. But then I will soon be forming my own splinter Islamic sect so I may not be objective. Women will be required to wear full head-to-navel hijabs. Below the navel, just the panties.
