Something heady and maybe slightly alcoholic? (5)
I believe the answer is:
froth
'alcoholic?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for froth that I've seen before include "Spume or foam" , "Lather" , "Small bubbles on a liquid" , "Effervesce" , "Mass of small bubbles" .)
