Words that rhyme with Booze
For lyric work, booze behaves as a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word. Sound-wise: one-syllable, vowel on a back /uห/, finally it softens into a fricative tail. It's a word everyone uses โ which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. Rhymes for booze, broken down across five types, look like this: the picked top sets below tell most of the story: strict rhymes are abundant, no near-perfect family slants exist for this one, and the slant pool, matched on vowel alone, is huge. Lyrically, the word arrives as a word the lyric earns weight from by context. Take the strict matches first; they have more range than the count suggests.

Why booze rhymes the way it does
In our engine, booze registers as a one-syllable word on the rounded /uห/ (/uห/) that spills into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 118 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 164, assonance 3,543, and consonance 629. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Booze rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
