Demon drink? (6)

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

4,6

spirit

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'demon' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'drink?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)

(Other definitions for spirit that I've seen before include "The non-physical part of a person" , "Vital force - apparition" , "Ghost or animation" , "Liquor or spectre" , "Supernatural entity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Globe and Mail, The Sun and The Times.
