Why would a manager sack

I got sent home for turning up to work smashed.

I didn't get any response or meeting or anything just a couple of days later a P45 through post.

Why no communication?

The Acas helpline number is 0300 123 1100. It is available Monday to Friday 8am-6pm.
Have you contacted your employer and asked?
How long had you been an employee for ?

There's not much reason to communicate. It's almost certainly gross misconduct and therefore you can be dismissed immediately. You weren't in a fit state for a conversation/explanation at the time, but the employer didn't think there was anything to discuss - see my 2nd sentence.
