Loud drunkard is loaded (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flush

'is loaded' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'loud drunkard' is the wordplay.
'loud' becomes 'f' (A musical term).
'drunkard' becomes 'lush' (lush is a kind of drunkard).
'f'+'lush'='FLUSH'

(Other definitions for flush that I've seen before include "Poker hand of same suit" , "Look ashamed < , maybe even promising hand" , "Rouse game and put to flight" , "winning hand at poker" , "Cleanse by running water" .)
