Country actor drunk I admired at first (7)
I believe the answer is:
croatia
'country' is the definition.
(I know that Croatia is a European country)
'actor drunk i admired at first' is the wordplay.
'drunk' is an anagram indicator.
'at first' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'admired' is 'a'.
'actor' is an anagram of 'croat'.
'croat'+'i'+'a'='CROATIA'
(Other definitions for croatia that I've seen before include "Split country?" , "Country of S. Europe" , "European republic, became independent in 1991" , "Balkan country, capital Zagreb" , "Balkan state, became independent in 1991" .)
