Can an employer fire an employee for using vicodin?

It depends on the situation whether he is using vicodin for a medical treatment or he is addict of it. Actually, it is the human psychology that the patient can move to any drug which can reduce the pain when all the other drugs fail to reduce it. Moreover,using the same drugs or medicine for a long time it reduces its effects.
