Like a monk from church, albeit drunk? (8)
I believe the answer is:
celibate
'like a monk' is the definition.
(I know that monks are often celibate)
'church albeit drunk?' is the wordplay.
'church' becomes 'CE' (abbreviation for Church of England).
'drunk?' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'drunk' mean this).
'albeit' with letters rearranged gives 'libate'.
'ce'+'libate'='CELIBATE'
'from' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for celibate that I've seen before include "Unmarried (person)" , "Unmarried or chaste for religous reasons" , "Citeable as unmarried for religious reasons" , "Belie act of being voluntarily chaste" , "Unmarried in citeable way" .)
