A mogwai is a drinker, a boozer.

A mogwai produces gremlins when it gets water and they proceed to kill the mogwai. Feeding it before midnight works fine however. You need to update yourself on 80s horror movies.

Doesn't have to be water. A mogwai is a demon or devil or evil spirit.

Sorry, guess again.

No, it's a furry fantasy creature.

The word mogwai is the transliteration of the Cantonese word 魔鬼 (Jyutping: mo1 gwai2; Standard Chinese: 魔鬼; pinyin: móguǐ) meaning "monster", "evil spirit", "devil" or "demon".

Not sure what that has to do with booze.
