Clinging drunk associated with southern family (4-5)
'clinging' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'drunk associated with southern family' is the wordplay.
'drunk' becomes 'tight' (I've seen this before).
'associated with' says to put letters next to each other.
'southern' becomes 'S' (abbreviation).
'family' becomes 'kin' (synonyms).
's'+'kin'='skin'
'tight' after 'skin' is 'SKINTIGHT'.
(Other definitions for skintight that I've seen before include "Clinging" , "Body-hugging" , "(Of garment) very close-fitting" , "(Of clothes) very closely fitting" .)
