The body ordering the test pays for it. I have no idea as to the cost of a test
as I have never had to pay for one. AFAIK, random means random ... at least at
the places where I have been subject to such. The confuser, it seems, plays no
favourites. Of course anyone involved in an "industrial accident" at such
places is non-randomly tested. In my case I was handed an appointment card and
told to report to the testing facility forthwith. Subjects for testing are
given no time to "clean up". However, this was all done "on the clock" so I got
paid for my time.

IOW your insurance industry has not mandated drug/alcohol screening to the
companies it insures against industrial mishaps, traffic accidents, workmen's
compensation claims, liability claims, etc. Stick around, it will come.
Regulation, like entropy, increases. Without fail.

      Title: Regulation Butter Cakes 
 Categories: Cakes, Desserts
      Yield: 12 servings

    1/2 c  Butter
      1 c  Sugar
      2 c  Cake flour
      3 ts Baking powder
      3    Egg whites
    2/3 c  Milk
      1 ts Flavouring extract

  There are only two types of cake: 1. Butter Cake, 2. Sponge
  Cake

  First Mixture: Beat or work the butter with a slitted wooden
  spoon until it has a whitish appearance around the edges.
  Then gradually add the sugar to the butter, beating the
  mixture meanwhile.

  Second: Sift the flour, measure, add baking powder, and sift
  three times.

  Third: Beat the egg whites until very light and fluffy.
  Dry-beaten egg whites make a dry cake. Use a wire whip,
  which leaves the eggs moist.

  To the creamed butter and sugar add alternately the 2/3 C
  milk and the flour with the baking powder. Thoroughly beat
  the entire mixture until smooth. Add flavoring. Fold in the
  egg whites. Do this carefully with a wooden spoon so as not
  to break down the air cells in the beaten egg whites.

  Grease a pan, 8" x 8", sift a little flour over the grease,
  tap the pan on one edge to remove extra flour. Put the
  batter into the pan and let bake about 35 minutes. Have the
  heat moderate until cake has risen, then have strong heat
  until three-fourths of the baking time, then gradually
  reduce the heat.

  Butter Cake Secrets: Work butter to a cream before adding
  any sugar.

  Flour and milk should always be added alternately, beating
  hard after each addition.
