Morphology

boozer = booze (transparent) = booze + er

Agentive '-er' added to the verb 'booze' produces a person who drinks; the relation is directly derivable.

Etymology

Boozer comes from the common word booze, which itself comes from an old word bouse meaning 'to drink'. So a boozer is literally someone who drinks alcohol a lot, which is why it means a heavy drinker.
