"To contain" is not a proper hidden indicator for 1A. You can probably see why. Some other nits as well. A fun puzzle overall though.

Thanks a lot! Yeah 4a is a lesser known word: I used it because for this puzzle I wanted to have all answers contain "ad" (a bit of an inside joke with a friend)
Thanks for an entertaining puzzle. 1D As it is a vertical word, "Drink up" might be a better surface reading. 3D "Dirt forms about a triumvirate" is a better surface reading. I hope you don't mind these suggestions.
