that's a polite way of putting it.

TBH, i don't care how legal or not it is. I care about the morality of an employer telling you what to do while at home. We all do illegal things, be it downloading a film, smoking pot, driving at 75mph or whatever. I'm not saying any of it's right or wrong, i'm just saying that an employer has no right to tell you what you can do in your free time, or even what you did in your free time BEFORE you entered employment with them.

If they want to say NO chemicals of any type (alcohol, nicotine, thc, etc) to be consumed, then i'd understand to a degree. I still wouldn't agree with it, but it's true that for some jobs you need to be 100% on the ball. Not that you're guaranteed to be 100% on the ball all the time anyway (neighbours had a party and kept you awake half the night? Baby up all night crying? partner snoring? hayfever? these are all pretty much out of your control, but will affect your work as much as anything else)...
