I believe the answer is:

saloon

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'wherein alonso got drunk?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'alonso got drunk?' is the wordplay.
'got drunk?' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'getting drunk' mean this).
'alonso' with letters rearranged gives 'SALOON'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for saloon that I've seen before include "Pub room" , "Car with separate boot" , "Car; public room" , "Large public room" , "US bar - type of car" .)
