A bunion is locally contraindicated for massage. Factors in the formation of bunion formation are pressure and rubbing of the joint, massage would likely aggravate the condition. In the acute stage: ice, reduction in inflammation and swelling by lymphatic drainage may be indicated. For the client, it is most critical to reduce the pressure on the joint by changes in their footwear; the condition has been eliminated by improvement of the fit, style (no high heals), or adaptation (local stretch of shoe in the bunion area). Leather shoes are required to provide the necessary support and adaptation for the foot. Encourage the client to see a podiatrist.
According to "A Massage Therapist's Guide to Pathology" massage on lesions during an acute outbreak may aggravate the situation by stimulation circulation in an area where too much activity is already taking place. Psoriasis ia a local contraindication when itches or hurts, but otherwise is appropriate. Of course, it is necessary to ensure that no cracking of the skin could make the client vulnerable to secondary infection.

Deep tissue, trigger point therapy and Swedish are locally contraindicated. Reflexology is indicated.

No, massage of any sort is contraindicated for a client (or therapist, for that matter) under the influence of alcohol. Massage can increase local circulation and move/flush toxins in the body. Because of this, the alcohol in a person's blood can be pushed through the liver and brain at an increased rate, causing further damage than the alcohol would have in the first place. This includes a person with a severe hangover, since many toxins and even some alcohol are still present in the person's system. Aside from all that, if you didn't already have a hangover, it would give you one. And it makes an existing one worse.
