Drunk gets bottle opener before a game (6)
I believe the answer is:
blotto
'drunk' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'bottle opener before a game' is the wordplay.
'bottle opener before' becomes 'b' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'a game' becomes 'lotto' (lotto is a kind of game).
'b'+'lotto'='BLOTTO'
'gets' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for blotto that I've seen before include "More than happy" , "Tight" , "Helplessly drunk (slang)" , "under the table" , "To bolt away in drunk state" .)
