Stewed or pickled? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

soused

I believe this is a double definition.

'stewed' is the first definition.
(both can mean drunk)

'pickled?' is the second definition.
(souse can mean to preserve in pickle)

'or' is the link.

(Other definitions for soused that I've seen before include "Drunk or immersed in liquid" , "Soaked, pickled (gherkin); drunk (colloq.)" , "Drenched with liquid" , "Marinated" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
