XYZ has to avoid this occurring again in the future. XYZ likely wants to keep the policy in place that employees cannot use maintenance drugs, so they are going to have to put a Bona Fide Occupational Qualification (BFOQ) in place. A Bona Fide Occupational Qualification, while it may be considered a valid defense to the employee protection of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, essentially “allows employers to hire individuals based on their age, sex, race, national origin, or religion, if these specific qualifications are considered essential to the job, or considered vital to the business’ operation” (“Bona Fide Occupational Qualification”).

I have had the pleasure of serving in the U.S. Army for over 20 years. During my time I have seen many changes as to how to deal with drug and Alcohol use within the service. One of the greatest increases I have noticed with alcohol use comes right after any deployment. Where most military personnel that likes to drink often try to make up for the months away and unable to drink in a 30-day period.
