A clue from a crossword a while ago, and still can't get.
It is seven letters, and the straight forward clue is Liquor, and the cryptic clue is, Mood not induced by drinking wine?
I'm stumped.

Now I know who to ask, I bet you have won prize crossword puzzles!
I have won the odd prize, but I used to set one every month for our employees.
And you are most certainly not stupid, it is the compilers' job to make things difficult.

Thanks for your vote of confidence! I like doing crosswords and find them challenging.
Here is a famous one from the Times from many years ago (I'm sure you'll get).
The clue is gesg - two words - nine letters and four.

Yes, that's impressive. How did you get it?
Achieved nothing = Did 0 - But I did google as well
Edit to add that I googled because I know nothing about ancient queens

Saturday crossword.
Easy clue... Little ball
Cryptic clue - Female in France amid exercise has little ball.
Presumably the answer is Pellet, but I can't for the life of me see that in the cryptic clue.

Brilliant workings out on your part!
Sometimes those cryptics can be bewildering.

Well, I did do a couple of years setting the crossword in the employee newspaper
