Cried about beverage (5)
I believe the answer is:
cider
'beverage' is the definition.
(cider is a kind of beverage)
'cried about' is the wordplay.
'about' is an anagram indicator.
'cried' with letters rearranged gives 'CIDER'.
(Other definitions for cider that I've seen before include "Drink made from pears" , "Alcoholic drink made from apples" , "Beverage from apple juice" , "Alcoholic drink (to be taken with Rosie?)" , "Alcohol from apples" .)
