Perhaps mild smell gives away drinking game (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beer pong

'drinking game' is the definition.
(I know that Beer pong is a type of drinking game)

'perhaps mild smell' is the wordplay.
'perhaps mild' becomes 'beer' (mild is a kind of beer).
'smell' becomes 'pong' (pong can informally mean a bad smell).
'beer'+'pong'='BEER PONG'

'gives away' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
