"Tunnell has written an insightful volume that is clearly written, well organized, informative, and interesting."Choice "Pissing on Demand presents a wide-ranging and thought-provoking discussion of the contemporary erosion of civil liberties. No one can read this fine book without being infuriated and alarmed, challenged andultimatelyenlightened. A real contribution to democratic discourse." Philip Jenkins, author of href="http://www.nyupress.org/product_info.php?cPath=&products_id=2533">Beyond Tolerance: Child Pornography on the Internet "Offers a critical view of both the detox titans, who Tunnell sees as snake-oil purveyors, and the drug testers themselves." The Chronicle Drug testing has become the norm in many workplaces. In order to get a job, potential employees are required to provide their urine for testing. Pissing on Demand examines this phenomenon along with the resulting rise of the anti-drug testing movement, or the "detox industry," that works to beat these tests. Strategies include over-the-counter products like "body flushers" that sound innocent but are really designed to mask the presence of illegal drugs to kits advertised in pro-drug publications like High Times that make no bones about their real purpose.
