This is one of those situations where "cool" might not have the same meaning internationally. The safest ways to use "mojosa" is to refer to trends and style. You can get away with using it as a synonym for "bonega" (but in which case, why not just say "bonega"?) However, to say that it's not kind of acceptable to drink another person's bear, you'd want another word like "afabla" or "akceptebla."
Shouldn't it be i drink his beer instead of am drinking. There ia progressive form here. ..
If there's a question there, I don't see it. The present form of "to drink" is "trinkas."

You might be able to use “Mi estas trinkanta lian bieron.” to emphasise that you were drinking it rather than doing something else with it.
I await confirmation or correction from experts on that one.
Is there an Esperanto word for quaffing? Quaffing is similar to drinking but you spill more (thanks Terry).
"Trinkas" is the normal word for imbibing any kind of beverage. "Drinki" implies heavy drinking or drinking to excess.
The audio sounds wrong. It sounds like he is saying "blian" instead of "lian". Also, I think it should be "drinkas" instead of "trinkas".
This reminds me of an old German TV advert in which an old couple comes to New York. They look out of the taxi windows, see advertising and say: ‘They drink our beer.’
