Can such friends get drunk on milk? (5)
I believe the answer is:
stout
'milk?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stout that I've seen before include "Bulky" , "Inured to fatigue and hardship" , "Portly - porter" , "Corpulent" , "Heavily built; beer" .)
