>This is more of a liability issue then anything else If this was true why shouldn't they also test for alcohol use?

  As much as some of them would like to - it's very hard to do so legally (which is their way out of being on the hook legally too) - even in situations where being drunk can realistically cause physical harm, let alone office type job situations. One company I worked for had a manufacturing operation, talking to their supervisors - they would call the cops sometimes if someone is visibly drunk and the worse case scenario for the employee is they would get sent home w/out pay for a day or something along those lines. They were actually happy when some of those dudes would get drunk AND high at lunch so they can get busted by the cops :) There was also a union involved so that tied supervisor's hands even more.
