Crossword Genius

See pal drunk when out for the night (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

asleep

'out for the night' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'see pal drunk' is the wordplay.
'drunk' is an anagram indicator.
'see'+'pal'='seepal'
'seepal' anagrammed gives 'ASLEEP'.

'when' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for asleep that I've seen before include "Please be at rest (6)." , "coiled up?" , "like a kipper" , "Like kippers" , "Dormant; inattentive" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
