Crossword Genius

He's a daft drunk and goofs (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fatheads

'goofs' is the definition.
('fathead' can be a synonym of 'goof')

'he's a daft drunk' is the wordplay.
'drunk' indicates anagramming the letters.
'hes'+'a'+'daft'='hesadaft'
'hesadaft' is an anagram of 'FATHEADS'.

'and' is the link.

(Another definition for fatheads that I've seen is " Fools".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
