To add to the list of reasons someone would not drink: depression. Most Americans will suffer depression at sometime and alcohol often works against recovery. You definitely don't want to attmept to bring up mental illness in an interview.
- grkvlt 11y agoIs it illegal to discriminate on mental health grounds? I wonder if it comes under the disabilites laws in the US?
- throwaway118376 11y agoI just tried to google around a bit for this and the answer actually seems surprisingly unclear re: disability laws in particular (ADA). I would think that mental health status would fall under general health status, though, which is a protected class. (E.g., I can't refuse to hire you just because you have diabetes or a food allergy, and in the same way I can't refuse to hire you just because you have clinical depression.)
