Technically HIMS is for addiction, not stupidity.

To be eligible you must have an addiction, which is assumed to override your voluntary self-control.

You don't have to get caught more than once (or at all) but you have to have a pattern of drinking (or abuse of other substances). This does not have to be documented, you just have to say you drink X/day, Y days/week.

If you get arrested and claim that it was a one time-only bad judgement situation, and that you don't have a problem and rarely drink then: You do NOT have a substance problem, and are NOT eligible for HIMS, and WILL be fired and have your tickets shredded with NO recourse.

You guys see what I'm saying here?
