Hello, I am stuck on a last clue in this week's Sunday times cryptic. "A terrible time with tense drunk knocking back liqueurs." (9) A?A?E?T?S
I think it looks like Amarettos. I am parsing it like this: a mare = a Terrible time, t= tense, tos= (Knocking back) sot = drunk. Is this right?

Why are you asking ??
That's a perfect parse.
Congratulations on completing the times crossword.

Thanks very much for your reply Shooty.
