I'm not saying people can't do their jobs after a drink, but being drunk is totally different. If people want to go get plastered at lunch on a Tuesday and come back to work, that's their choice. But it's their dime and those people tend to get fired.
And I totally agree that the Government employees should enjoy the same freedoms and benefits of those in the private sector. If I came to work drunk, or god forbid stoned, I would be fired on the spot.

You likely would not. The employer would first have to do an investigation, then ensure you were not suffering from a drug or alcohol dependency, otherwise they could get sued for wrongful dismissal of an individual with a disability.
