I believe the answer is:

merry-go-round

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'attraction' is the definition.
(I know that merry go round is a type of attraction)

'a little drunk from ring consumed by track by fairground' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'drunk' could be 'merry' (merry can mean cheerfully drunk) and 'merry' is located in the answer.
'from' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is present in the answer.
'ring' could be 'round' (synonyms) and 'round' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'g' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for merry-go-round that I've seen before include "Fairground ride" , "Roundabout" , "Fairground attraction" , "Whirligig" , "Language widely spoken in India" .)
