In favour of friend consuming no alcohol (8)
I believe the answer is:
propanol
'alcohol' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'in favour of friend consuming no' is the wordplay.
'in favour of' becomes 'pro' (being pro a particular cause).
'friend' becomes 'pal' (pal can mean a friend).
'consuming' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'pal' enclosing 'no' is 'panol'.
'pro'+'panol'='PROPANOL'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
