Drinks from top of bottles (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

necks

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

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

'top of bottles' is the wordplay.
'top' becomes 'neck' (I have seen 'top of bottle' mean 'neck' so perhaps 'top' could also mean 'neck').
'of bottles' becomes 's' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'neck'+'s'='NECKS'

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for necks that I've seen before include "Drinks" , "Features of swans and giraffes" , "They connect heads to bodies" , "Kisses amorously" , "They connect head to body" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
