I believe the answer is:

durable

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

'apt to survive a drunken' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'duel outside a bar maybe' is the wordplay.
'outside' says to put letters next to each other (outside can mean adjacent to).
'maybe' indicates an anagram.
'duel'+'bar'='duelbar'
'duelbar' is an anagram of 'DURABLE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for durable that I've seen before include "Lasting a long time" , "Firm" , "Rugged; long-lasting" , "Hardy" , "Likely to last" .)
