A lot of Irish songs are about drinking. But I don't think it has to do with alcohol.

Irish legends are full of magic cups, magic bowls, magic couldrons, etc. There are legends about magic cups that will give you eternal youth or magic powers if you drink from them.

The Holy Grail legend probably comes from these legends.
