Mean drunk in snug (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tight

I believe this is a triple definition!

'mean' is the first definition.
(both can mean miserly)

'drunk' is the second definition.
(slang term)

'in' is a link.

'snug' is the third definition.
(similar in meaning)

(Other definitions for tight that I've seen before include "Closely constrained, constricted" , "Secretive, drunk (colloq.)" , "Taut" , "Unlikely to be choosing the present" , "Hard to move; drunk" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
