Drink in Med? It's a cider brewed in sober group! (8,3)
I believe the answer is:
adriatic sea
'drink in med?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'it's a cider brewed in sober group' is the wordplay.
'brewed' indicates an anagram.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'sober group' becomes 'aa' (short for Alcoholics Anonymous).
'its'+'a'+'cider'='itsacider'
'itsacider' is an anagram of 'driaticse'.
'driaticse' inserted inside 'aa' is 'ADRIATIC SEA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for adriatic sea that I've seen before include "It lies between Italy and the Balkans" , "arm in the Mediterranean" , "large body of water" , "It lies between Italy and the Balkan peninsula" , "Quantity of liquid" .)
