tankard

'not out of this' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'drank a rum after time' is the wordplay.
'rum' indicates an anagram (rum can mean strange or unusual).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'time' becomes 't'.
'drank'+'a'='dranka'
'dranka' anagrammed gives 'ankard'.
'ankard' put after 't' is 'TANKARD'.

Can you help me to learn more?
