Because there are some employers who pay you for results, not ticks on a checkoff sheet - so drinkers and smokers can both now legally hold jobs.
Employers can still make
some decisions about the standards they hold for their employees. For example, tattoos are perfectly legal, but can be a consideration when hiring an individual. I don't see a problem with having a drug and alcohol standard. I have to admit I don't know why they separate them. Alcohol is a drug just like marijuana. Drinkers, smokers - same risk, should have the same restrictions.
