Comments on the clue
1.Nice surface but definition a little clumsy; shouldn't it be 'by' and not 'with'? And maybe teetotallers instead of non-alcoholics
2."non-alcoholic" is an adjective and can't be pluralised
3.Like the misleading use of "drunk" although strict Ximeneans may not like this to define a noun
