Scams involving drink for game? (6,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

squash rackets

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

'game?' is the definition.
(I know that squash rackets is a type of court game)

'scams involving drink' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'scams' could be 'rackets' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'rackets' is present in the answer.
'drink' could be 'squash' (I've seen this before) and 'squash' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for squash rackets that I've seen before include "they'll be needed in court" , "Court action" , "put an end to fraudulent schemes" , "Game" , "sport" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
