Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) protects individuals with disabilities from being discriminated against in the workplace. It prohibits discrimination based on disability in all employment practices such as job application procedures, hiring, firing, promotions, compensation, and training. Conditions not covered include obesity, substance abuse, irritability, and poor judgment. In this case, since Reese's ability to walk properly is limited due to her alcohol abuse, she cannot sue her company under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990.
