Did Carol ventilate around alcohol in summer? (7)
I believe the answer is:
sangria
'alcohol in summer?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'did carol ventilate around' is the wordplay.
'did carol' becomes 'sang' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ventilate' becomes 'air' (synonyms).
'around' is a reversal indicator.
'air' written backwards gives 'ria'.
'sang'+'ria'='SANGRIA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sangria that I've seen before include "Spanish drink of red wine with soda water or lemonade" , "Spanish spiced wine" , "Spanish alcoholic drink" , "Spanish drink based on red wine" , "Mixed drink" .)
