Hello,
E-PILL will be same effective after drinking alcohol as there is NO known interaction with alcohol and E-pill.
If you take the pill (first one) within first 24 hrs of sex, then it will give protection more than 95% and around 85% within 24 to 48 hrs. Second pill should be taken with 12 hrs gap for highest protection.
Practice safe sex in future. Good luck.
