Will I win this intoxicated at work dispute?

My work is about to fire me for being intoxicated at work when we had a meeting before work about our new products and got to sample the wines and stuff, then I went to the spaghetti factory across the street and had another drink with my newly promoted assistant manager who also had a drink then about an hour later called me into the office and sent me home for drinking before work when the wine was provided to me by the company at the meeting before work I drank just as much as every other employee who attended and the only proof they have that I went to the spaghetti factory for one more drink is the assistant manager who had another drink with me and didn’t get in any trouble and I was still able to do my job without any problems.

The fact is that absent an employment/union agreement to the contrary or some form of actionable discrimination, a worker can be terminated for any reason or no reason at all, with or without notice.
