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

'enough drink to get drunk is wrong' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'god's eyes king held' is the wordplay.
'god's eyes' becomes 'sinful' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'king' becomes 'K' (chess abbreviation).
'held' is an insertion indicator.
'sinful' going around 'k' is 'SKINFUL'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for skinful that I've seen before include "An excess of alcohol" , "enough to get drunk" , "More than enough beer!" , "amount of alcohol" , "a lot getting sunk" .)
