The D&A Policy is applied to all LUL (and I guess TfL) staff. The
amount of alcohol allowed in your system when booking on for duty is
zero.
The difference is that operational staff can get the sack, be
prosecuted and possibly be given a custodial sentance, whereas "office
staff" will most likely just be dismissed.
Also for LU Operational staff, if you are on any medication. You must
inform your manager/supervisor before starting work. If you are D&A
tested, and on the "prohibited for safety-critical" you could well be
in the brown stuff.

And for any job the management must treat alcoholism as a disease
rather than a disciplinary matter.
