because his hair is "too short"...even if that's true it doesn't look good on him. I seem to recall reading somewhere a hair sample could be provided simply from the hairs on a razor... http://jayski.com/cupnews.htm#news-hair |

As far as hair goes for testing, do labs only need the root end |
at a fairly constant rate, and "stores" evidence of the chemicals
in your body as it grows, so the value of a hair test is that it's
a record of what you've done since the time the hair was cut.
When they say Mayfield's hair is "too short", it may be that they
mean it's too short to provide a record back to May 9th, or whenever
it was that the first test was given (and thus can't be used to show
that that test was either right or wrong).

WELL i am 18, and i live in canada actually, where the drinking age is 19 (which doesn't come until february for me), but canada's unique drinking laws allow for different drinking ages in different provinces, so though i live in ontario the drinking age is 19, the town i live in is less than a 20 min drive to quebec, where the drinking age is 18 (and the beer is cheaper too). also i don't know how serious police take underage drinking in the US, or even elsewhere in Canada, but because of this unique geographic layout, it isn't a strongly enforced law |
isn't strongly enforced it's okay to break it... hope ethics don't come up
in the interview process...

I remember then....kind of... Bull. No one who was really 18 at one time remembers it. I think... Well, ok - maybe we remember some of the things of being 18. Like the free love movement, ban the bra, and some other historic events that made this country great. |
good age...<G>

Aren't there still some 18 states left? Maybe not, but I thought there were. |

"legally" then *drive* back to your province where you are now intoxicated
and underage?

goes back to the statement you made in the post that said:

(no point in becoming a law enforcer if you break them yourself). |
it seems you only believe it when it pertains to *others*... ironic?

for him to get drunk in Quebec, then return to Ontario.
I would hope that he is accompanied by a designated driver, and not driving
home all liquored up.

Age limits for alcohol limit the age for consumption. It's perfectly legal for him to get drunk in Quebec, then return to Ontario. I would hope that he is accompanied by a designated driver, and not driving home all liquored up. |
here... and being intoxicated while underage is not "legal". Of course I'm
not in his situation where the next "state" over it is legal, while not
legal where I am...

source for drug testing. It can tell a longer story than head hair because
body hair is only replenished on about an annual basis, so the signs remain
for a long time.
