Again decline drinks, with smoke briefly put round (7)

I believe the answer is:

relapse

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

'drinks with smoke briefly put round' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'again decline' is the wordplay.
'again' becomes 're'.
'decline' becomes 'lapse' (I've seen this before).
're'+'lapse'='RELAPSE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for relapse that I've seen before include "Backsliding" , "Slip back to former state" , "Deteriorate in health" , "medical problem" , "Fall back like leapers" .)
