Lift one's spirits?
I believe the answer is:
imbibe
'lift one's spirits?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for imbibe that I've seen before include "Drink or absorb into mind" , "Take in (with one's mother's milk?)" , "Partake of drink" , "Quaff" , "Swallow" .)
