Be tense suppressing awful urge for pot (4,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beer gut

'pot' is the definition.
(as in a pot belly, a large stomach)

'be tense suppressing awful urge' is the wordplay.
'tense' becomes 't' (abbreviation used in many dictionaries).
'suppressing' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'awful' indicates anagramming the letters.
'be'+'t'='bet'
'urge' anagrammed gives 'ergu'.
'bet' going around 'ergu' is 'BEER GUT'.

'for' is the link.

(Another definition for beer gut that I've seen is " large corporation".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
