Do you have dreams involving drinking? [View all]

I had one the other night where I was having a conversation with an old friend who does interventions about the hazards of drinking occasionally, and then going back to a sober lifestyle. A while back, I had a dream where I had a sip of wine, and after my wife glared at me, I poured the rest of it out. I've also had dreams where I've pounded down a bottle of beer. Is this common? The way I figure it, it's far healthier than actually drinking. Thoughts?
