School to throw out drinker (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sot

'drinker' is the definition.
(I know that sot is a type of drinker)

'school to throw out' is the wordplay.
'school' becomes 'S'.
'throw out' indicates an anagram.
'to' with letters rearranged gives 'ot'.
's'+'ot'='SOT'

(Other definitions for sot that I've seen before include "A chronic drinker" , "One's often intoxicated" , "Habitual drinker" , "One drinks" , "drunk" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
