A small drink for doctor, overproof (4)
I believe the answer is:
drop
'a small drink' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'doctor overproof' is the wordplay.
'doctor' becomes 'Dr' (abbreviation).
'overproof' becomes 'op' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'dr'+'op'='DROP'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for drop that I've seen before include "Desert" , "shed" , "Pendant earring" , "Discontinue -- delivery" , "Let fall" .)
