Drinks alcohol, especially in quantity or regularly. As a noun plural, it can refer to multiple types of alcoholic drinks.
From 'booze' (Middle Dutch 'buysen') + the third-person singular '-es' (Old English '-eth'). The verb form has been standard English since the 1600s.
The verb 'to booze' has been used the same way for 400+ years—Shakespeare's contemporaries used it! What's wild is that 'booze' survived as a word when many similar old slang terms disappeared completely.
