Heard person lapping broth (6)
I believe the answer is:
liquor
'broth' is the definition.
(I know that liquor is a type of broth)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for liquor that I've seen before include "Any alcholic drink" , "Alcoholic drink in general" , "Any alcoholic drink made from distillation" , "Alcoholic drink, booze" , "Strong alcoholic drink" .)
