Regret being drunk on rum (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mourn

'regret' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'drunk on rum' is the wordplay.
'drunk' is an anagram indicator.
'on'+'rum'='onrum'
'onrum' anagrammed gives 'MOURN'.

'being' is the link.

(Other definitions for mourn that I've seen before include "Keen" , "Be sad over loss" , "Express sadness" , "Weep for" , "Show sorrow for loss" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
