Crossword Genius

A head for drink? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

noggin

I believe this is a double definition.

'a head' is the first definition.
(noggin is a kind of head)

'drink?' is the second definition.
(drink measurement, typically a quarter of a pint)

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for noggin that I've seen before include "Gill usually" , "Head - tot" , "Small quantity of spirits" , "alcoholic drink?" , "Measure of alcohol, about a quarter pint" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
