It probably doesn't mean anything. He'd be better off figuring out what the Scripture means than trying to figure out what some dream (which may or may not have any meaning whatsoever) means.
He OBVIOUSLY did not have faith to drink two Long Island Iced Teas. (It's 'iceD tea', by the way, not 'ice tea'.) Paul laid out the principle pretty clearly - whatsoever is not of faith is sin'.
Since he doubts whether what he did was acceptable to God, he should confess it to God, and repent of it (ie not do that again). And then move on.
Either that or He can doubt God even more, suggesting God is not to be trusted or maybe might even be a liar, and continue beating himself up over the incident. Either God forgives, or He doesn't. If He doesn't we're all in deep trouble. If He does, then confess, forsake, give thanks, and drive on.
