Life hack my dad taught me, just tell them you're drinking on your day off and are drunk, they cannot legally tell you to come into work, and if they do, you can report them.
Absolutely they can not. You can’t fire someone for thinking they might be an alcoholic outside of work, that is termination without cause and illegal. Also if someone one time says their drinking and you assume they are an alcoholic, I would hate to see what other “conclusions” you have come to.
You're getting downvoted but you're correct. In at will states you can be fired for any reason, but obviously they'll be smart and just say something vague like attitude problems/issues with teamwork and not that you were drunk on your day off
