酒を飲む
解説 Definition
大量にお酒を飲むこと。特に過度の飲酒を指すくだけた表現。
Boozing means drinking alcohol, especially in a casual, heavy, or social way. It is an informal word and often suggests drinking a lot rather than just having one drink. The tone can be slightly negative depending on context.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
boozing はまず動詞 booze「深酒する」を知ると覚えやすいです。普通の drink よりかなり砕けていて、「ただ飲む」ではなく、酔うこと込みでガンガン酒をあおる感じ。be out boozing, a night of boozing の形で出やすく、boozy は「酒っぽい／酒で陽気な」。中立的な drinking と違い、少しだらしない・羽目を外した響きがある語だとまとめて覚えると定着します。
First remember the verb `booze`, which is much more casual than `drink`. Then `boozing` suggests heavy or carefree drinking, often with a messy or wild feeling. Phrases like `out boozing` or `a night of boozing` make the tone easier to remember.
