Besides being used to describe draconian and uniform (goodbye punishment that fits the crime) policys of law enforcement and schools, zero tolerance can also refer to the war on drugs in another way.
It refers to that no drugs (though not as much towards alcohol since the alcohol companies help fund anti-drug organizations bullshit) are acceptable to be taken recreationaly. Pure abstinence over drugs. Too bad for them humans don't work that way. There have been drug users for as long as humans have known of their existence.

It doesn't know how many this is your brain on drugs commercials you air, how many people you arrest and how many civil rights you violate, people will always use and abuse drugs. Whatever the hell drug abuse means....
And people looking to sell them will always exist no matter how draconian the laws are.
Zero tolerance once again = zero intelligence

Get the zero tolerance mug.A common phrase referring all lack of being able to tolerate something. Often a policy referring to various rules to increase strictness and banish all regard for anything against the zero tolerance policy.
"Schools have a zero tolerance policy to guns, understandably, but even leather trenchcoats, pieces of a weapon, chains, certain 'threatening' perephinelia, and all sorts of other things. Pretty soon, there will be a zero tolerance policy for CLOTHES."

Get the low tolerance mug.Something the liberals strive for as long as it's not for conservatives, especially white male Christian conservatives. One of the big double standards for the left.
These liberals try to preach tolerance for everything, but when a conservative complains about any liberal's beliefs, they go hostile on him! In a word, hypocrisy.
