Non-drinker in row causes giggle (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

titter

'giggle' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'non-drinker in row' is the wordplay.
'non drinker' becomes 'tt' (Teetotaller abbreviation).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'row' becomes 'tier' (tier is a kind of row).
'tt' placed into 'tier' is 'TITTER'.

'causes' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for titter that I've seen before include "Stifled giggle" , "Suppressed snigger" , "Nervous or affected laugh" , "Silly little laugh" , "Chuckle" .)

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