'drinkers need to be upright' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'resort by north sea' is the wordplay.
'resort' indicates anagramming the letters.
'by'+'north'+'sea'='bynorthsea'
'bynorthsea' anagrammed gives 'HONESTY BAR'.

'where' is the link.
