Crossword Genius

At university, drunk and anxious (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

uptight

'anxious' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'at university drunk' is the wordplay.
'at university' becomes 'up'.
'drunk' becomes 'tight' (I've seen this in other clues).
'up'+'tight'='UPTIGHT'

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for uptight that I've seen before include "Unable to relax" , "Tense, nervous, repressed" , "Irritated" , "Neurotic" , "Tip thug, being nervous and tense" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
