'very quick' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'drink with young man in queen vic shooting mouth off' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'drink' could be 'sup' (to sup is to drink) and 'sup' is found within the answer.
'man' could be 'son' and 'son' is located in the answer.
'queen' could be 'er' (short for Elizabeth Regina ie Queen Elizabeth) and 'er' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
