Definition
打酒 is a colloquial separable verb (离合词) meaning 'to buy wine or liquor' — specifically, to purchase alcohol in bulk or from a traditional shop where it's dispensed from a large container. The 打 here carries the sense of 'fetch' or 'get' (as in 打水 'fetch water'), not 'hit'. As a separable verb, you can insert measure words or other elements between 打 and 酒: 打了一斤酒 ('bought a jin of liquor').
