Drunken sot with whiskey to put away (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stow

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

'drunken sot with whiskey' is the wordplay.
'drunken' indicates an anagram.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'whiskey' becomes 'W' (alpha bravo charlie delta ...).
'sot' is an anagram of 'sto'.
'sto'+'w'='STOW'

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for stow that I've seen before include "Author, -- Asimov" , "Pack (in proper place)" , "Pack, put away" , "- - -on-the-Wold" , "Store away tidily" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
