runaround

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

'get busy and manage' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'get some drinks' is the wordplay.
'get' becomes 'run' (running is a kind of getting).
'some' becomes 'a'.
'drinks' becomes 'round' (as in a round of drinks).
'run'+'a'+'round'='RUNAROUND'

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for runaround that I've seen before include "deception" , "small car" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
