Cheers: drank messily from this? (7)

I believe the answer is:

tankard

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

'this?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'cheers drank messily' is the wordplay.
'cheers' becomes 'ta' (both can mean thank you).
'messily' is an anagram indicator.
'drank' is an anagram of 'nkard'.
'ta'+'nkard'='TANKARD'

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tankard that I've seen before include "One-handled drinking mug" , "Drinking vessel with a handle" , "Vessel tracked" , "A drinking mug with handle" , "Mug-like drinking vessel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
