Hit the drink (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

slug

I believe this is a double definition.

'hit' is the first definition.
(I know that slug is a more specific form of the action hit)

'the drink' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for slug that I've seen before include "Bullet; swig" , "Slimy fellow in bed" , "Garden pest - pellet" , "Slimy pest" , "Projectile fired from a gun" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
