Local, where I go and learn to get drunk (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

regional

'local' is the definition.
(in a particular region)

'i go and learn to get drunk' is the wordplay.
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'to get drunk' is an anagram indicator.
'i'+'go'='igo'
'igo' after 'learn' is 'learnigo'.
'learnigo' anagrammed gives 'REGIONAL'.

'where' is the link.

(Other definitions for regional that I've seen before include "From a geographical area" , "of the district" , "Relating to a particular area" , "Like some food" , "Relating to local area" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
