'drinks in deceitful treatment' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'manage to get some' is the wordplay.
'manage' becomes 'run' (both can mean to organise).
'to get' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'some' becomes 'around' (synonyms).
'run'+'around'='RUNAROUND'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for runaround that I've seen before include "deception" , "small car" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
