Drunks toss around (4)
I believe the answer is:
sots
'drunks' is the definition.
('sot' can be a synonym of 'drunk')
'toss around' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates anagramming the letters.
'toss' anagrammed gives 'SOTS'.
(Other definitions for sots that I've seen before include "Habitual drunkards" , "Sponges" , "Drunks" , "Boozers" , "Chronic drinkers" .)
