Drunk chaser in kind of party? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

search

'kind of party?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'drunk chaser' is the wordplay.
'drunk' indicates anagramming the letters.
'chaser' is an anagram of 'SEARCH'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for search that I've seen before include "What examiners do" , "Look for something or someone, perhaps chaser" , "Look thoroughly to find something" , "Fish about" , "thorough examination" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
