Loud female ultimately consumed by drink? (7)
I believe the answer is:
ladette
'loud female' is the definition.
(a ladette is a boisterous young woman)
'ultimately consumed by drink?' is the wordplay.
'ultimately' becomes 'de' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'consumed by' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters get consumed).
'drink?' becomes 'latte' (type of coffee drink).
'de' inserted inside 'latte' is 'LADETTE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ladette that I've seen before include "Loutish girl" , "irl, a lager lout" , "Girl likely to drink lots" , "boozy girl" , "Young woman with a loutish lifestyle?" .)
