Sports fans drink beers (10)
I believe the answer is:
supporters
'sports fans' is the definition.
(as in the supporters of a team)
'drink beers' is the wordplay.
'drink' becomes 'sup' (I've seen this before).
'beers' becomes 'porters' (porter is a type of beer).
'sup'+'porters'='SUPPORTERS'
(Another definition for supporters that I've seen is " Fans".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
