Ignore an interlude by getting drunk (4,1,5,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

turn a blind eye

'ignore' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'an interlude by getting drunk' is the wordplay.
'getting drunk' indicates an anagram.
'an'+'interlude'+'by'='aninterludeby'
'aninterludeby' with letters rearranged gives 'TURN A BLIND EYE'.

(Other definitions for turn a blind eye that I've seen before include "pay no attention" , "Pretend not to have seen" , "Overlook deliberately" , "Disregard deliberately" , "take no notice" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
