Wee drink leading to a humiliating scene? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drama

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

'humiliating scene?' is the definition.
'drama' can be an answer for 'scene?' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'humiliating' bit.

'wee drink leading to a' is the wordplay.
'wee drink' becomes 'dram' (small amount of alcohol).
'leading to' says to put letters next to each other (some letters go before or lead others).
'dram'+'a'='DRAMA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for drama that I've seen before include "Play; emotional event" , "Exciting play or event" , "Theatrical production" , "Serious play" , "Theatrical piece" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
