What's drunk in drunken sprees like this? (8)
I believe the answer is:
espresso
'what's drunk in drunken sprees like this?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'drunken sprees like this?' is the wordplay.
'drunken' is an anagram indicator.
'like this?' becomes 'so' ('like so').
'sprees' with letters rearranged gives 'espres'.
'espres'+'so'='ESPRESSO'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for espresso that I've seen before include "Kind of coffee made with steam" , "Italian strong coffee traditionally in a little cup" , "Type of coffee" , "strong drink" , "Coffee-making machine" .)
