teetotaller

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

'neither being this?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'lee and al totter drunkenly' is the wordplay.
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'drunkenly' indicates an anagram.
'al'+'totter'='altotter'
'lee' after 'altotter' is 'altotterlee'.
'altotterlee' is an anagram of 'TEETOTALLER'.
