Drink nothing in such dangerous areas? (2-2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

no-go

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

'such dangerous areas?' is the definition.
The definition and answer are not the same part of speech.

'drink nothing' is the wordplay.
'drink' becomes 'nog' (nog is a kind of drink).
'nothing' becomes 'o' (looks like zero - 0).
'nog'+'o'='NO-GO'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for no-go that I've seen before include "Can't be done, not on" , "Barricaded area" , "Prohibited area" , "Impossible task for goon" , "Hopeless (informal)" .)
