American made child and daughter drink beer (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

totaled

'american made' is the definition.
(US spelling of 'totalled')

'child and daughter drink beer' is the wordplay.
'child' becomes 'tot' (term for a young child).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'drink' indicates putting letters inside.
'beer' becomes 'ale' (type of beer).
'tot'+'d'='totd'
'totd' going around 'ale' is 'TOTALED'.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
