Your compiler gets in drunken sessions (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

meetings

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

'sessions' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'your compiler gets in drunken' is the wordplay.
'your compiler' becomes 'me' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'drunken' indicates anagramming the letters.
'gets'+'in'='getsin'
'getsin' anagrammed gives 'etings'.
'me'+'etings'='MEETINGS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for meetings that I've seen before include "Business get-togethers" , "Formal or informal gatherings" , "Assemblies as by committees" , "'Gatherings, usually scheduled (8)'" , "Formally arranged gatherings" .)
