Woman consumes drink and tons of bread (8)
I believe the answer is:
monetary
'of bread' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'woman consumes drink and tons' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'drink' could be 'one' (eg 'a cold one') and 'one' is found in the answer.
'tons' could be 't' and 't' is found within the answer.
'woman' could be 'mary' (woman's name) and 'mary' is found within the leftover letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for monetary that I've seen before include "about cash" , "of bread" , "Fiscal" , "involving finances" , "Army note (anag) - financial" .)
