Cried about drink (5)
I believe the answer is:
cider
'drink' is the definition.
(I know that cider is a type of drink)
'cried about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates an anagram.
'cried' anagrammed gives 'CIDER'.
(Other definitions for cider that I've seen before include "Drink made from apple juice" , "Alcoholic drink from fermented apple juice" , "Apple-based beverage" , "Pear drink" , "Alcoholic drink (to be taken with Rosie?)" .)
