'clear' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'husband gets rowdy after knocking back pegs' is the wordplay.
'husband' becomes 'h'.
'gets rowdy' becomes 'rough' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'knocking back' says the letters should be written backwards.
'pegs' becomes 'tees' (tee is a kind of peg).
'tees' written backwards gives 'seet'.
'h'+'rough'='hrough'
'hrough' put after 'seet' is 'SEE-THROUGH'.

'it's' acts as a link.
