pledge

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

This clue might be a double definition.

'promise' is the first definition.
(pledging is a kind of promising)

'refrain from drinking toast' is the second definition.
'pledge' can be an answer for 'toast' (synonyms). I am not certain of the 'refrain from drinking' bit.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pledge that I've seen before include "Vow, affirm" , "Firm commitment" , "Covenant" , "Deposit" , "Bond" .)
