Tippler finally overwhelmed by drink, put to bed (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

print

'put to bed' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'tippler finally overwhelmed by drink' is the wordplay.
'finally' suggests the final letters.
'overwhelmed by' is an insertion indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'drink' becomes 'pint' (I've seen this before).
The final letter of 'tippler' is 'r'.
'r' placed into 'pint' is 'PRINT'.

(Other definitions for print that I've seen before include "Photographic image" , "Write (in capitals)" , "Run off" , "Reproduction picture" , "Stamp" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
