Partygoer in right state! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

raver

'partygoer' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'right state' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'state' becomes 'aver' (both can mean to declare).
'r'+'aver'='RAVER'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for raver that I've seen before include "Wild partygoer" , "attending acid-house party?" , "one talking incoherently" , "Madman" , "Uninhibited person" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Times.
