Stops boozers (4)
I believe the answer is:
bars
This might be a double definition.
'stops' is the first definition.
(bar can mean to stop or prevent)
'boozers' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bars that I've seen before include "Prohibits; sandbanks" , "Excludes; sandbanks" , "Blocks off" , "Rods or drink dispensers" , "Watering holes - units in musical scores" .)
