Morphology

juicer = juice (opaque) = juice + er

Although the form is analyzable as juice + er, the slang meaning 'habitual heavy drinker' is not predictable from the ordinary verb meaning of juice.

Etymology

Juicer is a slang word. A helpful way to remember it is to think of juice ('a drink or alcohol') plus the ending -er ('one who'), so a juicer means 'a person who drinks a lot'.
