'john confronts drunk punching two bores' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'confronts drunk punching two bores' is the wordplay.
'confronts' becomes 'faces' ('face' can be a synonym of 'confront').
'drunk' becomes 'lit' (I've seen this in other clues).
'punching' is an insertion indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'two' becomes 'II' (roman numeral).
'bores' is an insertion indicator (bore can mean to drill into).
'lit' placed within 'ii' is 'iliti'.
'faces' going around 'iliti' is 'FACILITIES'.

Can you help me to learn more?
