Chuck a drunkard out of the house (5)
I believe the answer is:
shoot
'chuck' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'a drunkard out of the house' is the wordplay.
'a drunkard' becomes 'sot' ('sot' can be a synonym of 'drunkard').
'out of' is an insertion indicator.
'the house' becomes 'ho' (abbreviation for house).
'sot' enclosing 'ho' is 'SHOOT'.
(Other definitions for shoot that I've seen before include "Use a gun; film" , "modelling session" , "Make a film" , "Film; move rapidly" , "Kill; part of plant" .)
