Cheese-Buyer's Remorse
In the long run, it's probably better to appeal the unemployment dispute and just move on. That should be a fairly easy win if you weren't fired for cause; cutting a full-time employee to part-time at <10 hours a week is probably more than enough to qualify as constructive dismissal.

Being a person with a horny senile grandpa isn't a protected class under the ADA, so unless you can prove they actually cut your hours because of a protected condition (and alcoholism alone doesn't necessarily qualify), you might have a hard time with any illegal termination lawsuit. Even if your alcoholism was found to be a qualifying disability, how would your employer have known that you were being prescribed medication for it? (You weren't filling your prescriptions at your workplace, were you? If you were, I suppose you've learned a valuable lesson about keeping work and personal life separate...)
