Boozing frenzy requires elbow (6)
I believe the answer is:
bender
'boozing' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'frenzy requires elbow' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'elbow' could be 'bend' (I've seen this before) and 'bend' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'er' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bender that I've seen before include "many a joint, maybe" , "A wild drinking session, sounds twisted" , "Drunken spree (sl.)" , "Binge on drinks" , "Slangy drinking spree - crooked result?" .)
