Caught up with old men for casual drinks (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cuppas

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

'casual drinks' is the definition.
'cuppas' can be an answer for 'drinks' (cuppa is a kind of drink). I'm not certain of the 'casual' bit.

'caught up with old men' is the wordplay.
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'old men' becomes 'pas' (I've seen this in another clue).
'c'+'up'+'pas'='CUPPAS'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cuppas that I've seen before include "Informal drinks" , "Drinks of tea" .)
