is this a sackable offence?

if it does become an issue then unless other people witnessed you drawing the thing just deny you had anything to do with it

So basically an after work social event and you got too drunk to know what you were doing (like most people at parties anyway) and you're concerned that a colleague who stole your damn tissue might use it as ammunition to get you fired?
 
Gay Hitler frowns on your shenanigans!

Why would the fact it was after work make it any different?

Xmas party - You are an ambassador to your business. I know of many people sacked due to unacceptable conduct in social events.
 
If I got sacked for drawing something on a napkin outside of work I would be grateful to them for releasing me from such a company. I would like to think they would rather throw it in the bin and get on with more important issues.
 
Context is key. Considering you were drunk and the ridiculousness of it, it would just be viewed, in a disciplinary context, as a very childish and very tasteless incident. It's not good, but its not sackable.

Besides, it's easy to weasel out of. I thought you were dared to do it by a friend, personally.

Hmm that's a point, I guess with that in mind it totally depends on the workplace. Many have their Christmas parties arranged by staff on their own and the company itself has nothing to do with it.
 
Perhaps if it were Stalin you wouldn't feel quite so worried.

Knowing when to use the appropriate mass murdering dictator is key.
 
Maybe not directly but your manager probably realized that he is dealing with an 11 year old and fired you.
 
Find a matching napkin, draw another Hitler, this time with the words 'Hitler is sad', say you used the two to show drunken approval/disapproval and had no intention of suggesting Hitler was homosexual.

Also, can you not just take it back?

I heard his colleague class mate shouted "no take backs" as he took the napkin
