Gangster with drink, wearing his hat inside? (2,6)
I believe the answer is:
al capone
'gangster' is the definition.
(US gangster)
'drink wearing his hat inside?' is the wordplay.
'drink' becomes 'ale' (type of beer).
'wearing his hat' becomes 'capon' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'inside?' indicates putting letters inside.
'ale' placed around 'capon' is 'AL CAPONE'.
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for al capone that I've seen before include "Chicago gangster known as Scarface" , "US gangster in Chicago, arrested for tax evasion" , "Hood" , "Notorious Chicago gangster nicknamed Scarface" , "Notorious gangster, d. 1947" .)
