Most places don't even test for alcohol unless it is an accident

If you are "stoned out of your mind" or "****faced drunk," you likely
are not going to be allowed to go to or continue your job the day of
the
testing. If you repeatedly show up for work that way, you're going
to be
fired.

One would think that was true but we had a minority hire at IBM who
was a smack addict and everyone just assumed he was stupid.
It took almost 3 years to get rid of him and they ended up buying him
out.
When I asked him how he was getting away with it, he said he was
stoned at his interview and they never saw any difference over the
years.

There are plenty of people who drink at work. US Civil service people
spring to mind. They are pretty much fire proof too.
I knew a guy who was selling drugs right at his desk at an agency
down on Western Avenue. Nobody ever questioned how a GS-5 was driving
a new Benz. He was in the mail room so I assume the tax payer was his
shipping department.

Wow...you really have an attitude about construction workers and civil
servants. Your pool of experience, though, seems to be before drug
testing got serious, or on "light" construction jobs.

He seems to avoid the truth. Harry is the biggest A-Hole I've seen here

him to say?
