Etymology: "Boozes" is simply the third-person singular present form of "booze", so it is the form used when the subject is "he", "she", "it" or a single name, as in "she boozes on weekends." The verb it belongs to began as a northern English dialect form of "bowse", an older word for drinking heavily, and the noun meaning strong alcoholic drink grew out of that verb use.
