Drunk is inane and idiotic (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

asinine

'idiotic' is the definition.
(both can mean foolish or silly)

'drunk is inane' is the wordplay.
'drunk' is an anagram indicator.
'is'+'inane'='isinane'
'isinane' anagrammed gives 'ASININE'.

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for asinine that I've seen before include "Foolish like donkey" , "Foolish, silly" , "Senseless" , "Stubborn" , "'Mindless, vacuous (7)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
