'how' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'drunk holding the other turned' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'the other' could be 'other' and 'other' is found in the answer.
'drunk' could be 'tight' (I've seen this before) and 'tight' is located in the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'the' is the link.
