Drunk has set out for relatively prosperous region (5-4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

south-east

'relatively prosperous region' is the definition.
(relatively prosperous region of the UK)

'drunk has set out' is the wordplay.
'drunk' indicates anagramming the letters.
'has'+'set'+'out'='hassetout'
'hassetout' is an anagram of 'SOUTH-EAST'.

'for' is the link.

(Another definition for south-east that I've seen is " Kent area".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
