Very quickly becoming fond of spirits? (4,1,4)
I believe the answer is:
like a shot
'very quickly' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for like a shot that I've seen before include "Fancy a drop to drink" , "to demonstrate without hesitation" , "Outright" , "What spirit drinkers do" , "straight away" .)
