Only you two know your relationship. Just because his mother says that, doesn't mean you have to second guess yourself.
It's easier said than done however, just let it ride. Tell your boyfriend what she'd mention to you.

 She was also very drunk when she came out with all this stuff. Sometimes when we're drunk we're the most honest we've ever been. Other times we say seriously stupid things and really regret them the next day. The only thing that's important in this situation though is how you feel. Do you love your boyfriend? Do you think you're well suited to him? If yes then don't worry about his mum. While it's preferable that she likes you it's not the end of the world if she doesn't. My mother's parents hate my dad but they've just had to learn to get along. The most important thing is him and you.
