Slip in sobriety affected business (14)
I believe the answer is:
responsibility
'business' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'slip in sobriety affected' is the wordplay.
'affected' indicates an anagram.
'slip'+'in'+'sobriety'='slipinsobriety'
'slipinsobriety' with letters rearranged gives 'RESPONSIBILITY'.
(Another definition for responsibility that I've seen is " Onus".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
