Maybe a better wording for the first boundary would be "I will not talk with him if he's been drinking, if he has been drinking, I will end the conversation." (??)
My understanding of boundaries (still very fledgling and hard for me to enforce) is that boundaries are for us. They tell us (more than any one else) what we will and will not put up with and what steps we are willing to take to end a situation that violates the boundary.
I think you did very well.
