Tea, say, and beer gave out (8)
I believe the answer is:
beverage
'tea say' is the definition.
(tea is a kind of beverage)
'beer gave out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'beer'+'gave'='beergave'
'beergave' anagrammed gives 'BEVERAGE'.
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for beverage that I've seen before include "Any drink, say a beer" , "Liquid refreshment" , "Non-alcoholic drink" , "Liquid for drinking" , "Prepared drink" .)
