Crossword Genius

Rich drunkard (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lush

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'rich' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'drunkard' is the second definition.
(I know that lush is a type of drunkard)

(Other definitions for lush that I've seen before include "Growing thickly; drunkard" , "Growing thickly; succulent" , "one mortal too often" , "Habitual drinker (slang)" , "Of grass, growing thickly and strongly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
