I believe the answer is:

suppose

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

'you think' is the definition.
'suppose' can be an answer for 'think' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'you' bit.

'will lay on drink' is the wordplay.
'will lay' becomes 'pose' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'drink' becomes 'sup' (I've seen this before).
'pose' put after 'sup' is 'SUPPOSE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for suppose that I've seen before include "Reckon, think" , "Hypothesize" , "Guess" , "Put forward - imagine" , "'Believe, perhaps on uncertain grounds (7)'" .)
