Camaraderie as mate gets drunk on gin, say (4,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

team spirit

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

'camaraderie' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'mate gets drunk on gin say' is the wordplay.
'gets drunk' is an anagram indicator.
'on gin say' becomes 'spirit' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'mate' is an anagram of 'team'.
'team'+'spirit'='TEAM SPIRIT'

'as' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for team spirit that I've seen before include "Morale" , "feeling of camaraderie" , "displaying camaraderie" , "Willingness to work together" , "Cooperative had plenty of?" .)
