I believe the answer is:

down

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

'drink at speed' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'depressed daughter to have' is the wordplay.
'depressed daughter' becomes 'd' (I am not sure about the 'depressed' bit.**).
'to have' becomes 'own' ('own' can be a synonym of 'have').
'd'+'own'='DOWN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for down that I've seen before include "See 1" , "See 10" , "Depressed; swallow" , "Soft feathers; direction" , "Fuzz" .)
