I believe the answer is:

break

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'time' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'on holiday to get smashed?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'on' could be 're' ('on' can be mean 'with reference to') and 're' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for break that I've seen before include "Fracture; holiday" , "Baker (anag.)" , "Vacation; snap" , "Time off working" , "Shatter; respite" .)
