In a hurry to have a drink, gets a round (7)

I believe the answer is:

tearing

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

'in a hurry to' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'a drink gets a round' is the wordplay.
'a drink' becomes 'tea' (tea is a kind of drink).
'gets a round' becomes 'ring' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'tea'+'ring'='TEARING'

'have' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tearing that I've seen before include "violent" , "Granite (anag.)" , "splitting" , "'Pulling apart, ripping (7)'" .)
