Drink is turned down within the office (8)
I believe the answer is:
position
'the office' is the definition.
(position is a kind of office)
'drink is turned down within' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'drink' could be 'it' and 'it' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for position that I've seen before include "Place - standing" , "status" , "Place where something is" , "Office - location" , "Stance" .)
