Fancy a whiskey right away? (4,1,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

like a shot

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

'right away?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'fancy a whiskey' is the wordplay.
'fancy' becomes 'like' (both can mean to find someone attractive).
'whiskey' becomes 'shot' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'like'+'a'+'shot'='LIKE A SHOT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for like a shot that I've seen before include "to demonstrate without hesitation" , "Enjoy a nip" , "show partiality for spirits" , "at the double?" , "Enjoy field sports" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
