Crossword Genius

Lawbreaking shot, perhaps before teeing off (5-7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drink-driving

'lawbreaking' is the definition.

'shot perhaps before teeing off' is the wordplay.
'shot perhaps' becomes 'drink'.
'before' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'teeing off' becomes 'driving' (golf term).
'drink'+'driving'='DRINK-DRIVING'

(Another definition for drink-driving that I've seen is " At the wheel under the influence of alcohol".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
