Have beef joint after whiskey (6)
I believe the answer is:
whinge
'have beef' is the definition.
(to have a beef is to whinge or complain)
'joint after whiskey' is the wordplay.
'joint' becomes 'hinge' (hinge joint is a kind of joint).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'whiskey' becomes 'W' (alpha bravo charlie delta ...).
'hinge' put after 'w' is 'WHINGE'.
(Other definitions for whinge that I've seen before include "protest?" , "Moan" , "Whine and grumble persistently" , "Complain peevishly" , "Hewing (anag.)" .)
