This statement is false. It is illegal to ask about both past problems with drugs and past problems with alcohol under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Asking about past drug use could potentially reveal information about a disability, such as addiction, and could be considered discriminatory. Similarly, asking about past alcohol use could also potentially reveal information about a disability, such as alcoholism, and could be considered discriminatory. It is important for employers to follow ADA guidelines when asking questions related to substance abuse or addiction.
