Wanting a drink (5)

I believe the answer is:

short

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'wanting' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a drink' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for short that I've seen before include "Of small length" , "Terse; in insufficient supply" , "Uncivil, brief film" , "Concise" , "Not long enough" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
