Drunk for example sells off clothes (7)
I believe the answer is:
legless
'drunk' is the definition.
(I know that drunk can be written as legless)
'example sells off clothes' is the wordplay.
'example' becomes 'eg' (short for 'exempli gratia', 'for example' in Latin).
'off' indicates anagramming the letters.
'clothes' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters are clothed in others).
'sells' is an anagram of 'lless'.
'eg' put within 'lless' is 'LEGLESS'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for legless that I've seen before include "as a snake" , "lacking members?" , "high" , "like a fish?" , "Slangily drunk, lacking nether limbs" .)
