Drink making you sanctimonious? (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
half pint
'drink making you sanctimonious?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'drink making you' is the wordplay.
'drink' becomes 'half' (I've seen this before).
'making you' becomes 'pint' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'half'+'pint'='HALF-PINT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for half pint that I've seen before include "pair of gills?" , "could be bitter" , "Creature with short legs" , "Some Guinness" , "Small person" .)
