Articles about bishop with vice -- strong drink (8)
I believe the answer is:
absinthe
'strong drink' is the definition.
(absinthe is a kind of strong drink)
'articles about bishop with vice' is the wordplay.
'articles' becomes 'athe' (two examples of the part-of-speech: a+the**).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'bishop' becomes 'b' (abbreviation used in chess).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'vice' becomes 'sin'.
'b'+'sin'='bsin'
'athe' placed around 'bsin' is 'ABSINTHE'.
(Other definitions for absinthe that I've seen before include "Potent green gin-type liquor - wormwood" , "Strong green alcoholic drink" , "intoxicant" , "Green aniseed liqueur" , "Strong liquour in the basin?" .)
