Drink pints primarily and drink repeatedly (4,3)

I believe the answer is:

pale ale

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

'pints primarily and drink repeatedly' is the wordplay.
'primarily' says to take the initial letters.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'drink' becomes 'ale' (type of beer).
'repeatedly' says to double the letters.
The initial letter of 'pints' is 'p'.
'ale' doubled is 'aleale'.
'p'+'aleale'='PALE ALE'

(Another definition for pale ale that I've seen is " Drink".)
