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

'stuff' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'drink and drive' is the wordplay.
'drink' becomes 'grog' (grog is a kind of drink).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'drive' becomes 'ram' (RAM drive on a computer).
'grog'+'ram'='GROGRAM'

'into' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for grogram that I've seen before include "fabric" , "Coarse material" , "Stuff that!" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
