I believe the answer is:

weariness

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

'fatigue' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'auditor having more than one drink around start of session' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'auditor' could be 'ear' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'ear' is located in the answer.
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
