Bloody large swig knocked back — one might get hammered! (8)

I believe the answer is:

rawlplug

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

'one might get hammered' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'bloody large swig knocked back' is the wordplay.
'bloody' becomes 'raw' (as in raw meat).
'large' becomes 'L' (eg in clothes sizes).
'swig' becomes 'gulp' (synonyms).
'knocked back' says the letters should be written backwards.
'gulp' back-to-front is 'plug'.
'raw'+'l'+'plug'='RAWLPLUG'

Can you help me to learn more?
