Readily accept doctor, popular with family (5,2)
I believe the answer is:
drink in
'readily accept' is the definition.
'doctor popular with family' is the wordplay.
'doctor' becomes 'dr' ('Dr' can be a synonym of 'doctor').
'popular' becomes 'in'.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'family' becomes 'kin' ('kin' can be a synonym of 'family').
'dr'+'in'+'kin'='DRINK IN'
I've seen this clue in The Times.
