They didn't fire him. They just didn't hire him. Tweeting that you're drunk going into the interview says a few things: you don't take it seriously, you aren't preparing as best you could, and possibly that you're driving drunk to get to the interview.

While I agree with you, the article mentioned it was a phone interview, so hopefully he wouldn't be driving drunk. I suppose he could be driving drunk while talking on the phone, which would explain some of the people I see on my morning commute.

I would have seen how the guy did on the interview.
