Consume strong drink for sustenance (7)
I believe the answer is:
support
'sustenance' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'consume strong drink' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'drink' could be 'port' (port is a kind of drink) and 'port' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'sup' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for support that I've seen before include "comfort" , "Bolster or back up" , "Uphold" , "Provide financial backing or bolster" , "Prop" .)
