Gave beers out as drinks (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beverages

'drinks' is the definition.
('beverage' can be a synonym of 'drink')

'gave beers out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'gave'+'beers'='gavebeers'
'gavebeers' is an anagram of 'BEVERAGES'.

'as' is the link.

(Other definitions for beverages that I've seen before include "Drinks" , "Vegas beer (anag) - beer etc" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
