Well, was that an off-the-wall comment or what?
It's pretty obvious that having a dispropotional attachment to alcohol isn't exclusive to any ethnic group. I've often heard the term "alcoholic" tossed around as if it was a compliment in this here part of the world...like it's part of some hard-drinkin', manly, romantic notion of what a guy is supposed to be...pretty pathetic, no? This joker obviously is still stuck in a high school frame of mind and should think about growing up.
Good for you that you let it roll off you. I've had some of those various little ethnic digs thrown at me by people who would, themselves, be quite offended and indignant if I repeated some of those "Archie Bunker" type stereotypes about their particular ethnic group. Some times it's best just to let it go....
Best
