Without drink he'd get cured (6)
I believe the answer is:
healed
'cured' is the definition.
(I know that cured can be written as healed)
'without drink he'd' is the wordplay.
'without' indicates putting letters inside.
'drink' becomes 'ale' (type of beer).
'ale' put into 'hed' is 'HEALED'.
'get' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for healed that I've seen before include "Became healthy again" , "Made well" , "Cured, mended" , "Cured, recovered" , "Mended, recovered" .)
