Comfortable place to sit and have a drink (3)
I believe the answer is:
lap
'drink' is the definition.
(to lap is to drink up)
'comfortable place to sit and have a' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'lp' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lap that I've seen before include "Round in a race" , "Once around the track" , "Single circuit of track" , "Circuit of racetrack" , "One round of the track" .)
