teacups

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

'drinking from these?' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.

'the bay club pose oddly' is the wordplay.
'oddly' indicates alternate letters.
'the'+'bay'+'club'+'pose'='thebayclubpose'
The alternating letters of 'thebayclubpose' are 'TEACUPS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for teacups that I've seen before include "Drinking vessels" , "China?" , "From which to drink the afternoon brew" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
