I believe the answer is:

nadine

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'different woman' is the definition.
'Nadine' can be an answer for 'woman'. I am unsure of the 'different' bit.

'dianne when drunk' is the wordplay.
'when drunk' indicates anagramming the letters (a drunken or disorderly form of the letters).
'dianne' anagrammed gives 'NADINE'.

'is a' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nadine that I've seen before include "South African writer" , "French girl" , "Woman" , "Girl's name; Dianne (anag.)" .)
