Like a drink and a game of cards (5)
I believe the answer is:
rummy
'a game of cards' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'like a drink' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'like' could be 'y' (similar in meaning) and 'y' is present in the answer.
'drink' could be 'rum' (rum is a kind of drink) and 'rum' is found in the answer.
A single letter 'm' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rummy that I've seen before include "Two-pack card game" , "Gin perhaps?" , "game of cards" , "Peculiar - card game" , "with an alcoholic taste?" .)
