And to the PP who says it is easier than passing a piss test at Best Buy- you have no idea what you're talking about. People I know have been denied for drinking on the weekends.[/quote]

No one cares if you drink. It is a problem if you are weird or squirmish on the poly about drinking, or if the people they interview state that you frequently black out or lose control of your actions while drinking. They don't want people blabbing secrets while drinking on the weekend. It can also be an issue if character witnesses say you tend to get drunk and pick up random women at bars, etc, because pretty women are basically a centuries old tactic for getting secrets out of men.

Unfortunately there are a lot of borderline alcoholics who don't see the severity of their actions and complain about being dinged over something little like "drinking on the weekends."[/quote]

Glad you are omniscient.  Thanks for declaring your superior knowledge.  Not pp, but know a few people who were dinged for alcohol and they were not alcoholics.  Just typical 20 somethings in DC.[/quote]

Okay, you are correct!! The process is completely random!! People are DEFINITELY honest about why they are dinged, especially when it is the result of an extremely long and detailed process that digs into every corner of your family and sex life and likely for a job that binds you to confidentiality during the application process. No reason you wouldn't tell your FRIENDS what happened, right? :roll:

I "know a few people" too. One was denied and claimed the reason was that the "interviewer was sexist". After talking to a few other friends who were interviewed for her character testimony, turns out almost everyone had mentioned the fact that she frequently had mental breakdowns and would sob for hours after being rejected by men. Another claims he was denied for "trying pot once" but it turned out that a few of us interviewed mentioned that he liked to spend his nights out but would frequently miss paying rent. [/quote]
