Crossword Genius

Some sober up then throw up (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

erupt

'throw up' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'some sober up then' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'ERUPT' can be found hidden inside 'sober up then'.

(Other definitions for erupt that I've seen before include "Discharge" , "go up" , "Burst forth, like 25" , "Emit lava" , "What canines do" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
