Drunk and turned out of work (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

redundant

'out of work' is the definition.
(someone made redundant is out of work)

'drunk and turned' is the wordplay.
'drunk' is an anagram indicator.
'and'+'turned'='andturned'
'andturned' anagrammed gives 'REDUNDANT'.

(Other definitions for redundant that I've seen before include "out of a job" , "jobless!" , "No longer necessary" , "unwanted" , "getting P45?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
