Drunk and terribly irate learned types (8)
I believe the answer is:
literati
'types' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Bookish types ' mean 'literati' so perhaps 'types' could also mean 'literati')
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for literati that I've seen before include "scholars" , "The bookish intelligentsia" , "Men and women of letters" , "Learned people, men of letters" , "they devour a lot" .)
