Revolting drunk may make one nervous (7)
I believe the answer is:
uptight
'nervous' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'revolting drunk' is the wordplay.
'revolting' becomes 'up' (I've seen this in other clues).
'drunk' becomes 'tight' (slang term).
'up'+'tight'='UPTIGHT'
'may make one' is the link.
(Other definitions for uptight that I've seen before include "Tensely repressed" , "Like a tense person" , "Tense or angry" , "Neurotic" , "edgy" .)
