Ah. When you said urgent, I thought this was today...
IF he can claim his work wasn't affected, then perhaps he could argue that people merely complained because they knew he'd had a drink - i.e. smelt alcohol.
Did he go home early or was he sent home? The latter would suggest they decided he wasn't fit for work.

If they were aware but didn't even give a warning, then I would argue that they perhaps realised that a) the drink wasn't affecting his work and/or b) that he had a problem.
He'd better take some
proper advice from an employment lawyer
before tomorrow's meeting - and to be sure to have someone there to be with him to witness the meeting to make sure he's not getting unfair treatment.
