no the 'dying' isn't part of the joke, that just means he really wants a drink. the joke is: "treat" alcoholics (cure them with medicine) / treat them (buy them drinks)

a man goes to the doctor and says "do you treat alcoholics?" the doctor: "yes i do." the man says: "come down the pub then, i'm dying for one"
