Crossword Genius

Flyer left ale - getting drunk! (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leaflet

'flyer' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'left ale getting drunk' is the wordplay.
'getting drunk' indicates an anagram.
'left'+'ale'='leftale'
'leftale' is an anagram of 'LEAFLET'.

(Other definitions for leaflet that I've seen before include "It may advertise" , "Distribute information" , "All feet (anag)" , "Small information sheet" , "Bill, pamphlet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
