Pants for drinks (6)

I believe the answer is:

shorts

This clue is a double definition.

'pants' is the first definition.
(shorts is a kind of pants)

'drinks' is the second definition.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for shorts that I've seen before include "Boxers" , "Garment" , "Trousers that end at or above the knee" , "Reduced trousers" , "bottom gear" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
