'this?' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech.

'pressure to join club foolishly consuming bitter' is the wordplay.
'pressure' becomes 'p' (scientific abbreviation).
'to join' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'foolishly' is an anagram indicator.
'consuming' is an insertion indicator.
'bitter' becomes 'raw' ().
'club' anagrammed gives 'ubcl'.
'ubcl' going around 'raw' is 'ubcrawl'.
'p'+'ubcrawl'='PUB-CRAWL'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
