It doesn't offend me (look at my last name).
The fact is the Irish have a well deserved reputation for drinking to excess. Alcoholism is a big problem there and has been for a long time. The previous generations of my father's family (my father included) all had issues with it. If that's offensive, perhaps it's only because it hits home a little too hard.
