Junior drinks? (4)

I believe the answer is:

tots

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

'drinks?' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Little drinks' mean 'tots' so perhaps 'drinks' could also mean 'tots')

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tots that I've seen before include "Babies" , "little people" , "Sailors' drams" , "Finds the sum" , "Adds up like small children" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
