Well, you're not wrong — particularly in contrast to many of the other nations in the European Union.
The findings of Eurostat's most recent survey on food, beverages and tobacco prices has revealed that the price of alcohol in Ireland is 75% higher than the EU average. This is the highest price level in all of the EU.
