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.
Weapon
Weapons in dreams represent power, the capacity for aggression or defense, and the tools you use to protect yourself or exert force. The type of weapon matters: swords represent decisive action, guns represent remote power and sudden impact, knives represent intimate conflict. Whether you're wielding the weapon or facing it determines whether you feel empowered or threatened.
