Somehow grudged not being fully conscious of events (7)

I believe the answer is:

drugged

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

'not being fully conscious of events' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'somehow grudged' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates anagramming the letters.
'grudged' with letters rearranged gives 'DRUGGED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for drugged that I've seen before include "Anaesthetised" , "knocked out" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
