My boyfriend and I have been having unprotected sex for about 2 months now, and although he always "pulls out" I tend to sometimes forget to take the pill at the exact same time everyday. It probably varies about 3-4 hours. Also once or twice a week I take it with alcohol.
Does this increase my chance of getting pregnant by any significant amount?

No, although it's ideal to take it at the same time every day so that you remember to take it, 3-4 hours difference is not going to matter at all. If you skip a whole day then it's probably better to use condoms for the rest of the month just to be extra sure. Your boyfriend pulling out is also not going to significantly decrease your chances of getting pregnant if you are already on the pill, so you really don't have to do that.
Alcohol does not interfere with the pill.

taking it w/alcohol isnt the best thing. i can easily say out of my 2 years, i havent taken my pill at the same time every day for more than 2-3days in a row. as long as its the same time of day i think it'll be okay. after 2 years of the pill i have even missed a day and don't really worry. hope this helps!
