Follow drinker's last drink (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chaser

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

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

'follow drinker's last' is the wordplay.
'follow' becomes 'chase' (synonyms).
'drinker's last' becomes 'r' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'chase'+'r'='CHASER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chaser that I've seen before include "Follow-up drink" , "Drink that follows immediately after another one" , "Drink following another of a different kind" , "Beer after spirits e.g." , "different drink to follow" .)
