I believe the answer is:

hoarse

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

'rough-voiced' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'ashore drunk' is the wordplay.
'drunk' indicates anagramming the letters.
'ashore' anagrammed gives 'HOARSE'.

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hoarse that I've seen before include "(Of a voice) gruff or husky" , "As if with a sore throat" , "Of voice, rasping or gruff" , "Gravelly" , "Sounding rough like a horse" .)
