I worked in a steel-mill for four years as a nurse. There was more than a zero-tolerance for anything even smelling/looking like beer or anything else (even Rx medication. I do not wish to engage in a debate on that)-- Men came in to be drug/etoh tested for the most incredible things--one truck driver was drug tested because his truck leaked oil! I drug tested people who's only "crime" was being present when their equipment fucked up. No human error identified! These men and women were so afraid of looking sideways that I began to see the drug testing policy for what it truly was---a tool of The Man. And no, I am not being sarcastic.
