"A certain state of mind"? Being drunk?
The entire rule is about discipline. The Job Corp is designed to instill such discipline in people who need it. No one said you can't drink at all. They said you can't drink on our property. God forbid they look out for the safety of people!
I truly don't understand why people get their panties in a twist over rules and regulations. They exist for a reason. Drunks cause problems. Drunks grope people, drunks get in fights, drunks vomit all over the place, drunks make your organization look sloppy, drunks miss work, etc. There are plenty of reasons to ban drunks on YOUR campus. None of them have to be, what you call, "puritanical" in origin.
- verteu 3y agoNobody's "panties are in a twist," as you so eloquently conjectured. Many of America's alcohol-related regulations are, literally, Puritan in origin and exist largely due to historical precedent. [1] [2] Thus, when encountering a surprisingly harsh anti-alcohol regulation, it's reasonable to question its origin and validity.
