Hit from quick drink (4)
I believe the answer is:
slug
This might be a double definition.
'hit' is the first definition.
(I know that slug is a kind of hit)
'quick drink' is the second definition.
'slug' can be an answer for 'drink' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'quick' bit.
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for slug that I've seen before include "Slimy gastropod" , "Slimy pest" , "ammunition?" , "Bullet; swig" , "Shell-less mollusc ? bullet" .)
