Haggard drunk near crow (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

careworn

'haggard' is the definition.
(I know that haggard can be written as careworn)

'drunk near crow' is the wordplay.
'drunk' is an anagram indicator.
'near'+'crow'='nearcrow'
'nearcrow' is an anagram of 'CAREWORN'.

(Other definitions for careworn that I've seen before include "worn-out" , "Showing signs of stress and worry" , "Tired through worry" , "Run down by anxiety" , "stressed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
