Drinks lacking body? (7)
I believe the answer is:
spirits
'drinks lacking body?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their -s form, I don't see how one could define the other.
This is all the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spirits that I've seen before include "eg Gin, whisky" , "Hard liquor" , "Animating forces or hard liquors" , "hard stuff?" , "whiskeys?" .)
