Do such friends get drunk? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stout

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

'drunk?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'do such friends' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'do' could be 'ut' (synonyms) and 'ut' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'get' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stout that I've seen before include "Heavily built; beer" , "Portly - porter" , "Rather fat, drink" , "Full-bodied" , "pint" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
