Boozer’s breaks, say, for booze? (8)

I believe the answer is:

schnapps

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'for booze?' is the definition.
(schnapps is a kind of booze)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for schnapps that I've seen before include "German alcoholic spirit" , "Strong spirits drunk in northern Europe, strong on consonants" , "Booze" , "Strong drinks, Dutch gin made from potatoes say" , "Dutch or German spirit" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
