Crossword Genius

Dial for drunken state (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

florida

'state' is the definition.
(Florida is an example)

'dial for drunken' is the wordplay.
'drunken' indicates anagramming the letters.
'dial'+'for'='dialfor'
'dialfor' anagrammed gives 'FLORIDA'.

(Other definitions for florida that I've seen before include "US Sunshine State" , "the Tallahassee area" , "SE US state" , "Keys here" , "US south-eastern state" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
