Drunkard with little money but a certain amount of sense (5)
I believe the answer is:
souse
'drunkard' is the definition.
(souse can mean a drunken person)
'little money but a certain amount of sense' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'money' could be 'sou' (I've seen this before) and 'sou' is present in the answer.
'amount' could be 's' (S is an example) and 's' is found in the answer.
A single letter 'e' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'with' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for souse that I've seen before include "dip" , "Wash" , "thoroughly wet" , "Duck" , "Marinate" .)
