Meaning most people can drink alcohol without fear of being tested for past use in a work context. We don't regulate it in the workplace the way we regulate pot use.
- JoeAltmaier 5y agoI dunno. Background checks include DUIs.
- selestify 5y agoYou don't get a DUI just for being drunk on the couch on the weekend, you have to also be operating a vehicle while drunk. Which is what the parent comment was talking about -- it's not regulated in the same way that pot usage is.
- quickthrowman 5y agoEvery alcohol consumer has a DUI? Maybe in Wisconsin, but not in general
- toast0 5y agoI think a big part of the issue is how the subtances work and how the tests work. Are there tests that indicate past use of alcohol or just the ones I'm aware of where the measurement drops swiftly as alcohol is processed? Same for marijuana; is there an objective(ish) test that indicates current intoxication or only the tests that show use within about a month?
- tyingq 5y agoMarijuana does stick around a long time, but they test for other stuff that doesn't, some benzos, heroin, etc. There's apparently something called an ETG test for alcohol consumption that can reach back a few days.
