Offer made by barman in dramshop eagerly? (4,1,4)

I believe the answer is:

like a shot

'eagerly?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for like a shot that I've seen before include "What spirit drinkers do" , "straightaway?" , "show partiality for spirits" , "sluggish?" , "enthusiastically?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
