Hopelessly drunk in clubs, roll around covered in beer (9)
I believe the answer is:
incapable
'hopelessly drunk' is the definition.
'incapable' can be an answer for 'drunk' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'hopelessly' bit.
'in clubs roll around covered in beer' is the wordplay.
'clubs' becomes 'c' (abbreviation used in card games such as bridge).
'roll' becomes 'bap' (bap can mean a bread roll).
'around' is a reversal indicator.
'covered in' indicates putting letters inside.
'beer' becomes 'ale' (type of beer).
'bap' in reverse letter order is 'pab'.
'pab' placed into 'ale' is 'apable'.
'in'+'c'+'apable'='INCAPABLE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for incapable that I've seen before include "Possibly hammered" , "Unable, incompetent" , "Extremely drunk" , "helpless" , "lacking ability" .)
