Humiliation as member rants drunkenly (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

embarrassment

'humiliation' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'as member rants drunkenly' is the wordplay.
'drunkenly' indicates an anagram.
'as'+'member'+'rants'='asmemberrants'
'asmemberrants' with letters rearranged gives 'EMBARRASSMENT'.

(Other definitions for embarrassment that I've seen before include "Awkwardness, shame" , "Shame felt in public" , "Surplus" , "Financial difficulty -- abundance" , "Sheepishness" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
