Revolting drunk may get one on edge (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

uptight

'one on edge' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'revolting drunk' is the wordplay.
'revolting' becomes 'up' (I've seen this in other clues).
'drunk' becomes 'tight' (slang term).
'up'+'tight'='UPTIGHT'

'may get' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for uptight that I've seen before include "Tense, nervous, repressed" , "Informal word for nervously tense" , "Repressed and disapproving" , "Showing repressed anxiety or anger" , "Informally nervous and tense" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
