Reportedly consider drink, and more than a few! (8)
I believe the answer is:
multiple
'few' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for multiple that I've seen before include "Having many parts or components" , "Involving or consisting of more than one" , "Manifold; numerous" , "Numerous and often varied" , "Having more than one part" .)
