Mean to get sloshed (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tight

I believe this is a double definition.

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

'sloshed' is the second definition.
(I know that sloshed can be written as tight)

'to get' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tight that I've seen before include "Secretive, drunk (colloq.)" , "Inebriated" , "Difficult and problematic" , "Hard to undo or open" , "Drunk; restricted" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Times.
