Drink in The Feathers? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

down

I believe this is a double definition.

'drink' is the first definition.
(to down something can mean to drink it quickly)

'the feathers?' is the second definition.
(down is a kind of feathers)

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for down that I've seen before include "Depressed - Irish county" , "Not working (computer)" , "Depressed; swallow" , "Feathers or hair" , "Sad; feathers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
