I believe the answer is:

bottle

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

'drinking bout' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.

'british at last go teetotal before the parisian' is the wordplay.
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in 'BBC').
'at last' indicates one should take the final letters.
'teetotal' becomes 'tt' (abbreviation).
'before' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the parisian' becomes 'le' (definite article in French).
The final letter of 'go' is 'o'.
'b'+'o'+'tt'+'le'='BOTTLE'
