Based on the facts presented, there does not appear to be any liability on your part. Contact your homeowner's insurance company.

If you can prove the facts you have stated - that is you have positive evidence that he was drunk- and that you can show the ladder he used was not faulty, it is likely that there will be no liability for you. But, you should contact your home owner insurance and have them deal with the claim. Likely they will deny it.
