Crossword Genius

Flight she had led topless and slightly drunk (5-6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

light-headed

'slightly drunk' is the definition.
(light-headed can mean a bit drunk)

'flight she had led' is the wordplay.
'flight she' becomes 'light' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'had' says to put letters next to each other.
'led' becomes 'headed' (heading is a kind of leading).
'light'+'headed'='LIGHT-HEADED'

'topless and' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

(Other definitions for light-headed that I've seen before include "Dizzy, slightly faint" , "without serious thought" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
