egotist

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

'one serving self' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'is to get sloshed' is the wordplay.
'sloshed' indicates an anagram.
'is'+'to'+'get'='istoget'
'istoget' with letters rearranged gives 'EGOTIST'.

Can you help me to learn more?
