'boozer' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'kinder when sozzled? right' is the wordplay.
'when sozzled?' indicates an anagram (sozzled can mean drunk).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'kinder' anagrammed gives 'drinke'.
'drinke'+'r'='DRINKER'
