I believe the answer is:

up in arms

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

'angry' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'rebellious as drunkard ruins map' is the wordplay.
'ruins map' can be anagrammed to 'UP IN ARMS'.
But, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for up in arms that I've seen before include "Outraged" , "Protesting strongly" , "Better prepared for battle" , "Rioting" , "Protesting vigorously, in militant mood" .)
