I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fun' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'strikes table end getting drunk?' is the wordplay.
'getting drunk?' indicates an anagram.
'strikes'+'table'+'end'='strikestableend'
'strikestableend' with letters rearranged gives 'BEER AND SKITTLES'.

'it's just a bit of' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for beer and skittles that I've seen before include "Entertainment" , "provided at a licensed bowling alley" , "idle fun" , "Licensed bowling alley will provide" , "pleasure" .)
