One glass and he falls over (7)
I believe the answer is:
tumbler
'one glass' is the definition.
(tumbler is a kind of glass)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tumbler that I've seen before include "One flips" , "spilling its contents?" , "appears to be falling" , "will hold water" , "used to drink" .)
