This is idiotic, just like companies that fire employees for smoking tobacco. No company should have any right to tell you what to do when you are off of the clock. You are a human being exchanging your services or expertise for a wage, not a slave.
When someone comes to work drunk, you take action because it is dangerous to them and others. You don't fire someone because they had a scotch and soda 3 weeks ago.
I will actively boycott any organization that fires people for their off duty decisions. It will have a small impact, but I hope more people also feel this way.

It'd be nice if there was a list of the offenders so they could be publicly outed. Even if a boycott itself doesn't convince them (which often seems to be the case), I don't think companies want any kind of national scrutiny over this sort of thing. It may help apply enough pressure to motivate them to revisit these policies and push for more sensible testing.
