Partly coincide —and drink too much! (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overlap

But I can't explain it at all!

(Other definitions for overlap that I've seen before include "Extend on top of" , "Ride" , "Lie partly on top of" , "Partially coincide" , "Imbricate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
