Time to abandon beer, one included with the champers? (5)
I believe the answer is:
biter
'one included with the champers?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'time to abandon beer' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'to abandon' suggests deleting specific letters.
'beer' becomes 'bitter' (bitter is a type of beer).
'bitter' with 't' removed is 'BITER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for biter that I've seen before include "He who is sometimes bit" , "Craftsman" , "One cutting" , "He who may be bit in tribe" , "Someone eating" .)
