'one of those beaten' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'horse fed large alcoholic drink' is the wordplay.
'horse' becomes 'steed' (steed is a kind of horse**).
'fed' is an insertion indicator (one word is \'fed\' to another).
'large' becomes 'l'.
'alcoholic drink' becomes 'rum' (I've seen this before).
'steed' enclosing 'l' is 'steeld'.
'steeld'+'rum'='STEEL DRUM'
