Drunk missing the stage? (7)
I believe the answer is:
legless
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'drunk' is the first definition.
(I know that drunk can be written as legless)
'missing the stage?' is the second definition.
('stage' can be 'leg' (a leg is a stage of a competition) so maybe 'missing the stage?' can be ''legless')
(Other definitions for legless that I've seen before include "So one couldn't stand" , "Sozzled - lacking limbs" , "wasted" , "Informally drunk, lacking nether limbs" , "As one may be after convivial time in club" .)
