Indeed, but killing someone accidentally whilst driving and not under the influence might not land you in prison (assumuing you weren't driving dangerously etc). Similarly, I would imagine that if someone died while at work as a result of your actions and you were found to be under the influence you might be looking at manslaughter rather than accidental death.
I'd agree that random testing might have its limitations - what are the criteria for someone being removed from a site? Do they have to be over a certain limit etc? but what do you otherwise do, wait till someone gets killed?
Tired - as for snooping into people's private lives, if you turned up late on site because you'd been partying all night and were hungover and were fired for your tardiness would that not in some way be an infrigement of your civil liberties?
As for people in the office commenting on these issues rather than the ones most likely to be affected, I'm off my face right now!!! Lucky me!!!
