Your compiler gets in drunken sessions (8)
I believe the answer is:
meetings
'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" .)
