10ac Game and drink after hard work (9)

Easy enough answer I think i.e hopscotch. Is the explanation that scotch is a drink and hopscotch is a game but where does work come into it. If hard is h then is work really op? I dont really think saying you are going on an op is like going to work. Or have I misread this altogether.
Finding i am not getting so many answers with the cryptic clues so have to go back and parse them from the straight clues.
could anyone tell me if there are any other crosswords they do that are similar to the everyman thanks.

Op. is abb for opus= work, usually used to label music.
