Drink too much? That’s a coincidence (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overlap

This clue is a double definition.

'drink too much?' is the first definition.
(to over-lap could be to lap or drink too much)

'coincidence' is the second definition.
(I know that overlap is a type of coincidence)

'that's a' is the link.

(Other definitions for overlap that I've seen before include "Partially coincide" , "Put extra cover on" , "Outflank" , "bit of a coincidence" , "have something in common" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
