Drink excessively (4)

I believe the answer is:

tope

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for tope that I've seen before include "plantation?" , "Drink heavily" , "Drink to excess" , "Drink excessively like poet" , "Drink hard regularly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
