Punished for a drunken dance (5)
I believe the answer is:
caned
'punished' is the definition.
(beaten with cane)
'drunken dance' is the wordplay.
'drunken' indicates anagramming the letters.
'dance' with letters rearranged gives 'CANED'.
'for a' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for caned that I've seen before include "punished" , "beat" , "given stick" , "Thoroughly defeated" .)
