Devils taking whiskey from feeble people (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

imps

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

This could be a double definition.

'devils' is the first definition.
(I have seen 'Little devils' mean 'imps' so perhaps 'devils' could also mean 'imps')

'whiskey from feeble people' is the second definition.
'imps' can be an answer for 'people' (imp is a kind of person). I'm not sure about the 'whiskey from feeble' bit.

'taking' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for imps that I've seen before include "Demons" , "Naughty sprites" , "Mischievous sprites" , "repairs (for a wing)" , "Little rascals" .)
