Fix time for drink (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pint

'drink' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'fix time' is the wordplay.
'fix' becomes 'pin' (pinning is a kind of fixing**).
'time' becomes 't'.
'pin'+'t'='PINT'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for pint that I've seen before include "Imperial measure of capacity" , "Unit of beer" , "small amount" , "Liquid measure" , "Half a quart" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
