Inspired by the very similar thread about school incidents.

    Even if you’re forklift certified? Or other heavy equipment operator (crane, excavator, front loader, big truck)?

      In the US, can each of these occupations get shitfaced the second they’re off work?

      I don’t know, I guess so? Most drug tests are severely flawed, because many don’t test if someone is under the influence right now, they can test positive even when it’s longer ago and outside of worktime.

      So in essence, you can get fired for being under influence at work, even though you’re not, because these tests are not good enough. And I think that’s nuts, aside from the massive invasion of privacy of giving an employer a claim to you bodily fluids.

      Sure, you’re not supposed to use drugs. But is it your employer’s task to enforce the law? No, they’re not the police, and it’s none of their business what people do at home.
