The clue to 1a read "knock it back and fall" The answer could be tipple or topple. There was a discussion here about which to put, and the consensus was topple. I agreed, reluctantly, because tipple is not clearly listed as "fall" in Chambers nor in the ODE, though Collins does have it in that meaning. But I wasn't very happy about that choice. Now today I see that the compiler went for tipple!

A common north east expression (possibly slang or Geordie) is Tipple Ower....especially after a few!!

Well, yes, I would definitely think there was a verb "to tipple"

BTW, I see I typed the number of the crossword as 3247, it should be 3248.
