Show the man’s taken to drink (7)
I believe the answer is:
portray
'show' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'the man's taken to drink' is the wordplay.
'the man's taken' becomes 'ray' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'drink' becomes 'port' (I've seen this before).
'ray' put after 'port' is 'PORTRAY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for portray that I've seen before include "Paint a picture" , "Play" , "sketch" , "Depict, present" , "Act" .)
