I am lead to believe pumpin and dumping doesn't work.  The alcohol stays in your milk while its in your system.  When you sober up, your milk should be fine. But i would definitely recommend alcohol test strips to be safe.

If you have a pump, I'd pump and then dump the first milk. Also there are alcohol test strips you can by at Walmart and target to test breast milk for alcohol
