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]

And why would I lie?

I work in a creative field and am free to live my life as I please with no questioning.

I also have friends who live their life as they please, while holding high level clearances. Will this hold up forever for them? Maybe it will catch up to them at some point. I don't know. I know for DAMN sure that not nearly everyone who holds a high level clearance abstains from alcohol, or even comes close to abstaining. That is an absolute ridiculous notion.

They do not physically test for drug or alcohol use at any point. They just don't. Someone can question me and all of my contemporaries about my drug and alcohol use until the cows come home, but that really means very little.

I've taken my role as a character witness seriously when I've been called upon to be one. But I've only ever seen one person out of many in DC denied for a clearance.

You know the best way to get any information out of me? To say that my kid is hurt, in danger, or otherwise being detained. Should they not give anyone with a family a clearance?
