"Booze" is to Lagavulin as "Broad" is to woman.

It HATES it when you do that.
Booze was the name of a bottle maker, and Coors got into the beer
business because they made the beer bottles. I think I detect an
unfortunate trend here.
Interesting, when I looked up the definition on google I got:
Origin
Middle English bouse, from Middle Dutch būsen ‘drink to excess.’ The
spelling booze dates from the 18th century.
From the Oxford:

People have been boozing for a long time. The spelling booze dates from
the 18th century, but as bouse the word entered English in the 13th
century, probably from Dutch. We have been going to the boozer, or pub,
since the 1890s.
