Corporation's year under pressure from drug ring (3-5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pot-belly

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

'corporation's' is the definition.
(corporation can humorously mean belly fat)

'year under pressure from drug ring' is the wordplay.
'year' becomes 'y'.
'under' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (in a down clue, some letters go below others).
'pressure from drug' becomes 'pot' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'ring' becomes 'bell' (both can mean to call on the phone).
'pot'+'bell'='potbell'
'y' after 'potbell' is 'POT-BELLY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for pot-belly that I've seen is " Protruding stomach".)
