Story heard before another drink (5,3)
I believe the answer is:
light ale
'drink' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'story heard before another' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'story' could be 'tale' (synonyms) and 'tale' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for light ale that I've seen before include "Drink" , "(Weak) bottled beer" .)
