Drunken peril holding tin containing this? (7)

I believe the answer is:

pilsner

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'this?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'drunken peril holding tin' is the wordplay.
'drunken' indicates an anagram.
'holding' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'tin' becomes 'Sn' (Sn is the chemical symbol for tin).
'peril' with letters rearranged gives 'piler'.
'piler' enclosing 'sn' is 'PILSNER'.

'containing' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pilsner that I've seen before include "drink" , "alcohol" , "Bar tab might include this" , "Czech beer" , "Type of lager" .)
