I believe the answer is:

ample

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

'more than enough' is the definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)

'politician taking drink outside' is the wordplay.
'politician' becomes 'MP' (Member of Parliament).
'taking drink' becomes 'ale' (type of beer. I am not sure about the 'taking' bit.).
'outside' means one lot of letters goes inside another (some letters go outside others).
'mp' placed inside 'ale' is 'AMPLE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ample that I've seen before include "Full-figured" , "Large, accommodating" , "Fairly large" , "Plentiful; large" , "Liberal" .)
