In 20+ years of flying I have been tested twice, once in Oslo last Xmas and once in Sweden the previous year, both random, we were inbound on both occasions with turnaround.
All crew members tested, all clear.
With regard to locking someone up without bail i suspect that a Norwegian cell is somewhat better than a Turkish one.
no one can condone alcohol and flying even though the stats show the ( historic) risk to flight is all but zero.
Of course min rest on night stops can be down to 10 hours and many companies have a zero alcohol intake policy of 12 prior to report.
