Alcohol

Quest, longing, seeking answers
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.
Searching
Searching in dreams represents the universal human quest for meaning, answers, or something missing from life. The object of the search reveals what you're seeking: searching for a person suggests longing for connection, searching for an object suggests seeking a specific solution, searching without knowing what for represents existential seeking. The search itself may be more important than what's being sought.
