解答

意味：
英辞郎によると、

〈話〉酔っぱらった、大酒飲みの

Boozeは、スラングで酒のことです。したがって、boozyはその形容詞になります。ただし、上記の訳よりも幅広い意味で使用されます。例えば、a boozy partyは、大量の酒が提供されるパーティになります。  

Answer

According to The Free Dictionary:

informal inclined to or involving excessive drinking of alcohol; drunken

 

Examples

• ‘The friend you invited to your boozy Christmas lunch is a recovering alcoholic.’
• ‘‘Every sign has its keynote flavours,’ she says of the idea, which ‘came out of a boozy lunch with the manager’.’
• On the first and third of every month, the place is packed with old men getting their boozy fixes.
• She's going for a boozy night out with her friends.
• The critics held him in high esteem as an actor, and the fans adored him for his outrageous and boozy personality.
