It's possible that they never really fired you, and assuming you have the drink problem under control, could go back if you asked politely. I have worked for places where it was easier and safer to simply cut hours to see if the employee would 'get the message' and straighten up rather than to resort to formal termination.
It can't hurt to ask if you are still eligible to work for them, if you are interested. You could possibly go back until you find something else you like more.
