Crossword Genius

Disorderly drunk sups root beer (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

obstreperous

'disorderly' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'drunk sups root beer' is the wordplay.
'drunk' indicates anagramming the letters.
'sups'+'root'+'beer'='supsrootbeer'
'supsrootbeer' with letters rearranged gives 'OBSTREPEROUS'.

(Other definitions for obstreperous that I've seen before include "Bolshie" , "Noisily aggressive" , "Noisy, hard to control" , "Noisily defiant" , "Sober posture (anag) - unruly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
