Drunk with present for Take That (2,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

so there

'take that' is the definition.
(both phrases are said to show defiance)

'drunk with present' is the wordplay.
'drunk' becomes 'sot' (both can mean someone who drinks too much).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'present' becomes 'here' (both can mean in attendance).
'sot'+'here'='SO THERE'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for so there that I've seen before include "message of defiance" , "Defiant words" , "Derisive expression" , "What are you going to do about that" , "Expression of triumph, derision, etc" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
