Did the doctor have anything to drink? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

draught

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

'drink?' is the definition.
(draught is a kind of drink)

'did the doctor have anything' is the wordplay.
'did the doctor' becomes 'dr' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'have' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'anything' becomes 'aught' ('aught' means anything).
'dr'+'aught'='DRAUGHT'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for draught that I've seen before include "drink needed" , "Current - drink - drawing - checker" , "Depth of a ship in the water" , "Swallow" , "Unwelcome blow" .)
