Sloshed male is loose-limbed (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lithe

'loose-limbed' is the definition.
(both can mean agile)

'sloshed male' is the wordplay.
'sloshed' becomes 'lit' (I've seen this in another clue).
'male' becomes 'he' (he refers to a man).
'lit'+'he'='LITHE'

'is' is the link.

(Other definitions for lithe that I've seen before include "Physically flexible or supple" , "Physically supple, agile" , "Slim and supple" , "Able to move and bend gracefully" , "Lissome, supple" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
