Crossword Genius

Woman in the bar getting drunk (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bertha

'woman' is the definition.

'the bar getting drunk' is the wordplay.
'getting drunk' indicates an anagram.
'the'+'bar'='thebar'
'thebar' with letters rearranged gives 'BERTHA'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bertha that I've seen before include "Big - - , WW1 gun" , "collar" , "Girl's name - big German WWI gun" , "The bar (anag.)" , "Big ..., heavy German howitzer in World War 1" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
