Sobriety at business? Some getting drunk (14)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abstemiousness

'sobriety' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'at business? some getting drunk' is the wordplay.
'getting drunk' is an anagram indicator.
'at'+'business'+'some'='atbusinesssome'
'atbusinesssome' anagrammed gives 'ABSTEMIOUSNESS'.

I've seen this clue in The Times.
