Game husband having drink after work (9)
I believe the answer is:
hopscotch
'game' is the definition.
(hopscotch is a kind of game)
'husband having drink after work' is the wordplay.
'husband' becomes 'h'.
'having' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'drink' becomes 'scotch' (Scotch is an example).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'work' becomes 'op' (common abbreviation for 'opus').
'scotch' after 'op' is 'opscotch'.
'h'+'opscotch' is 'HOPSCOTCH'.
(Other definitions for hopscotch that I've seen before include "Traditional children's game" , "childish amusement" , "Playground game" , "minor diversion?" , "Jumping game" .)
