Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
Familon will help postponing your menses but it may not provide the contraceptive effect. To get the contraceptive effect it needs to be started during day 1 to 4 of menstrual cycle. So, it is advisable to use another method of contraception.
Taking alcohol is not shown to reduce effect of Familon. So, it is unlikely to reduce the efficacy of the drug.
Hope it will help.
Take care.
