Empties out (6)

I believe the answer is:

drains

(Other definitions for drains that I've seen before include "Channels for liquids or sewage" , "Conduits for carrying away rainwater" , "Pipes through which sewage is carried away" , "Runs out" , "Exhausts" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate and the Newsday.com.
