There are restrictions based around certain industries, of course. Lawyers and stockbrokers are expected to wear suits by their work culture but this doesn't mean that computer support personnel need wear suits when they are required to crawl around in dusty telephone closets. Presentable attire can and should be arrived at without being overly fussy or expensive. More and more we are hearing about workers who are under the influence of alcohol or drugs during their workday.

Companies suffer when their employees are impaired.
One employee's drug problem could even bring about the failing of the company if that person is in a position to handle security or important relationships with clients and companies. Impaired employees, at any level, put the entire company and every other employee at risk. Employees need to leave the partying for the weekends and keep their work life sober.
