Kept a drunken sot looking embarrassed (6)
I believe the answer is:
stored
'kept' is the definition.
(storing is a kind of keeping)
'a drunken sot looking embarrassed' is the wordplay.
'a drunken' is an anagram indicator.
'looking embarrassed' becomes 'red' (someone may go red when embarrassed).
'sot' anagrammed gives 'sto'.
'sto'+'red'='STORED'
(Other definitions for stored that I've seen before include "Saved up in Dorset" , "Warehoused" , "Stashed away" , "Laid aside for future use" , "Put away for future use" .)
