25ac: gin, whisky, rum etc all ‘shorts’.

In 18dn, the definition is ‘treat’. The ‘Yes’ is indicating that it is serving as both an anagram indicator and the definition.

In 25ac, how does short = GIN? Is Cockney rhyming slang involved here?

In 18d, how does “Yes” provide the definition for NEGOTIATE?
