Not wanting a drink (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

agin

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

'not' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'wanting a drink' is the wordplay.
'wanting' says to put letters next to each other.
'drink' becomes 'gin' (gin is a kind of drink).
'a'+'gin' is 'AGIN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for agin that I've seen before include "Opposed to local" , "Hostile to" , "Not in favour of" , "Not a fan of" , "Against (facetious)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
