A lighter brandy drunk at breakfast time? (6,3,5)
I believe the answer is:
bright and early
'breakfast time?' is the definition.
'bright and early' can be an answer for 'time?' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'breakfast' bit.
'a lighter brandy drunk' is the wordplay.
'drunk' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'lighter'+'brandy'='alighterbrandy'
'alighterbrandy' with letters rearranged gives 'BRIGHT AND EARLY'.
'at' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bright and early that I've seen before include "At the crack of dawn" , "in good time" , "first thing" .)
