Drain curacao bottles to suffer (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

incur

'suffer' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'drain curacao bottles' is the wordplay.
'bottles' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (bottling is a kind of containing).
'INCUR' is hidden in the letters of 'drain curacao'.

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for incur that I've seen before include "Risk" , "Sustain" , "Meet" , "Arouse" , "Become subject to (eg, taxes)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
