It’s difficult to argue that booze is expensive.

Not really. From memory the weights are about 50/50 between on and off sales but a long time since I checked.
I doubt Ireland is 77% above EU average for alcohol overall if off-sales aren't well above average too.
And there were less promotions on beer in the current crisis, though that may have been due to shortage on supply as more drunk at home.
Statistics which include pub sales are completey irrelevant in the context of discussion around supermarket prices.
