Brewery tap, with drunk embracing someone guzzling (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spigot

'brewery tap' is the definition.
(US term for a tap)

'drunk embracing someone guzzling' is the wordplay.
'drunk' becomes 'sot' (synonyms).
'embracing' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'someone guzzling' becomes 'pig' (a greedy or gluttonous person).
'sot' enclosing 'pig' is 'SPIGOT'.

'with' is the link.

(Other definitions for spigot that I've seen before include "Plug for cask vent" , "Peg that stops the vent of a cask" , "Tap for barrel" , "Pigs to vent-peg" , "It's a water tap in America" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
