One authorised to sell alcohol (8)
I believe the answer is:
licensee
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">one authorised to sell alcohol</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for licensee that I've seen before include "local host, perhaps" , "One with permit to sell alcoholic drinks" , "One allowed to sell alcohol" , "The one with the official permit" , "Person with official permit to sell, say, drink" .)
