I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'excessively large vehicles?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'have fun with drinkers' is the wordplay.
'have fun with' becomes 'gas' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'drinkers' becomes 'guzzlers' (guzzler is a kind of drinker).
'gas'+'guzzlers'='GAS-GUZZLERS'

'describing' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for gas-guzzlers that I've seen is " Environmentally unfriendly cars?".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
