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

This clue might be a double definition.

'both drunk' is the first definition.
'smashed' can be an answer for 'drunk' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'both' bit.

'broke' is the second definition.
(smashing is a kind of breaking)

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for smashed that I've seen before include "Affected by drug" , "completely sozzled" , "Vandalised" , "Broke into small pieces" , "Drunk (as a broken bottle?)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
