That woman has managed to inhale drug in hookah (7)
I believe the answer is:
sheesha
'hookah' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'that woman has managed to inhale drug' is the wordplay.
'that woman' becomes 'she' (she refers to a woman).
'managed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'to inhale' indicates putting letters inside.
'drug' becomes 'e' (E is another name for ecstasy).
'has' with letters rearranged gives 'sha'.
'sha' enclosing 'e' is 'esha'.
'she'+'esha'='SHEESHA'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
