Inebriated old peer can't stand (7)

I believe the answer is:

deplore

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'can't stand' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'inebriated old peer' is the wordplay.
'inebriated' indicates anagramming the letters (inebriated can mean drunk, suggesting disorder).
'old'+'peer'='oldpeer'
'oldpeer' is an anagram of 'DEPLORE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for deplore that I've seen before include "Sorrow over" , "Lament" , "Regret, censure" , "Express strong disapproval of (something)" , "Bemoan" .)
