Stupid rule. There could be a level above zero in your system two days after consumption, so if you go to a party on Saturday night then on Monday morning you might still not be compliant even though you are well within legal limits to drive a motor vehicle.

Unless you are a pilot or operating a nuclear power plant that is. For general employees the zero tolerance rule is excessively draconian.
