Bob maybe drunk this early (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hairstyle

'bob maybe' is the definition.
(I know that bob is a type of hairstyle)

'drunk this early' is the wordplay.
'drunk' indicates an anagram.
'this'+'early'='thisearly'
'thisearly' with letters rearranged gives 'HAIRSTYLE'.

(Other definitions for hairstyle that I've seen before include "Design of crowning glory" , "Pageboy or bob, say" , "DA possibly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
