Drink like a fish (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tope

I believe this is a double definition.

'drink' is the first definition.
('tope' can be a synonym of 'drink')

'a fish' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'like' is the link.

(Other definitions for tope that I've seen before include "Drink heavily" , "Drink hard regularly" , "Small grey requiem shark" , "Drink excessively like poet" , "Drink a lot like poet" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
