lie around

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

'relax with a few drinks' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'the bar after a whopper' is the wordplay.
'the bar' becomes 'around' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a whopper' becomes 'lie' (I've seen this before).
'around' put after 'lie' is 'LIE AROUND'.

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lie around that I've seen before include "not placed with an order" , "Be idle" , "Be scattered" , "what the idlers do" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Crosaire) and the Irish Times.
