Part of screwdriver against oak door opening, perhaps (5)

I believe the answer is:

vodka

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'part of screwdriver' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'against oak door opening perhaps' is the wordplay.
'against' becomes 'v' (abbreviation for 'versus').
'opening' suggests taking the first letters.
'perhaps' indicates anagramming the letters.
The first letter of 'door' is 'd'.
'oak'+'d'='oakd'
'oakd' anagrammed gives 'odka'.
'v'+'odka'='VODKA'
