Crossword Genius

Can't stand, as the drunk (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hates

'can't stand' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'as the drunk' is the wordplay.
'drunk' indicates anagramming the letters.
'as'+'the'='asthe'
'asthe' with letters rearranged gives 'HATES'.

(Other definitions for hates that I've seen before include "passionate feelings" , "Loathes" , "Dislikes intensely" , "Despises" , "Detests" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Independent.
