Alcohol
Alcohol in dreams represents altered states, social lubrication, celebration, or escape from reality. Drinking socially may reflect your relationship with relaxation and social connection. Being drunk suggests loss of control or lowered inhibitions. For those in recovery, alcohol dreams are extremely common and can represent both fear of relapse and the processing of past behavior.
Mountain
Mountains represent major challenges, spiritual aspirations, and the effort required for achievement. Climbing a mountain symbolizes working toward a significant goal. Standing at the summit represents achievement and the broader perspective gained through effort. A mountain blocking your path indicates a seemingly insurmountable obstacle. In many spiritual traditions, mountains are sacred places where heaven meets earth.
