But they won't fire anyone for drinking will they?
Only if they violate the law.
See how easy that was Danny?
The teachers didn't violate any laws.
Ain't America great?
You couldn't be more wrong.
I fired somebody for buying a six pack of beer in 2003. Then the Federal Government came in and closed my business because the person had bought the beer, despite the fact that we took immediate action and fired her. And now the state is trying to revoke that person's professional license and they will probably get it.
There's no law and no written policies at the Federal, State or company level saying that that person couldn't buy beer. But that person was a nurse. And for a nurse to buy a six pack of beer while representing my company and give it to a patient that she was treating was wrong on many levels.
She didn't violate any laws. But she sure cost me a lot of money by her stupidity.
