'Drinks on me!' (First of several errors) (4-3)
I believe the answer is:
mess-ups
'errors' is the definition.
(mess-up is a kind of error)
'drinks on me first of several' is the wordplay.
'drinks' becomes 'sups' (I've seen this before**).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'first of' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'several' is 's'.
'me'+'s'='mes'
'sups' put after 'mes' is 'MESS-UPS'.
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
