Teachers have been fired over pictures of them with alcohol being on facebook/myspace. What you can be fired for is a much longer list than what you can't be fired for.

Was going to say the same thing. Teachers did things on their own time and got fired for it. Companies CAN tell you that you can't do something, regardless of the legality of that "thing." I really don't understand why that's so hard to believe. You agree to follow their rules when you work for them, even if those rules cover something that is completely legal on a federal or state level and you're doing it on your personal time. Employers can ban certain activities. It's a contract you agree to when you go to work for them.

I wonder if there is another testing method for it though. They are testing now to see if you do it period. I wonder if they can develop a new test to see if you are currently impaired by it.
