I was wrongful terminated by my boss who was intoxicated
My boss showed up to the work site drunk to bully and intimate me. I stay on site and put up with his attitude. I left the site with all my tasks complete AND hand delivered the samples to the lab. He calls me after work hours and starts about how all my tasks where not complete etc. etc. So we exchanged words and he terminated me

If you did not commit misconduct you should receive unemployment benefits for up to 6 months as long as you otherwise qualify. File your claim with the Department of Labor.
Find another job but once you do you need to tell the Department of Labor otherwise you will some day be paying back unemployment if you worked and collected at the same time. You could also face penalties or worse for not reporting income.
If your boss owns the company or the owners like him or drinking on the job is permitted then it's not illegal. Of course you should never be intoxicated on any job yourself. Unless a public disturbance was created it's not illegal.
Sounds like you are probably glad you no longer work there and maybe it was a good thing to leave that way than after being injured by an intoxicated person. If the boss had created a safety issue you probably would have reported it to OSHA, etc...
