Let sir get drunk with lots of wine? (6)
I believe the answer is:
litres
'lots of wine?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both quantities as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'let sir get drunk' is the wordplay.
'get drunk' indicates anagramming the letters.
'let'+'sir'='letsir'
'letsir' anagrammed gives 'LITRES'.
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for litres that I've seen before include "Let Sir get the liquid amounts" , "Metric units of capacity" , "Amounts of water" , "Metric volumes" , "Cubic capacities" .)
