Indicates drinks all round, just for love (6)

I believe the answer is:

points

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

'indicates' is the definition.
('point' can be a synonym of 'indicate')

'drinks all round just for love' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'round' could be 'o' (round can mean a round object) and 'o' is found within the answer.
'drinks' could be 'pints' (I've seen this before) and 'pints' is found in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for points that I've seen before include "Indicates using finger" , "as setter does" , "Directions on compass" , "tails, possibly" , "Precise locations" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
