5d drunken soldier^^^

[mallyh]

sorry i spelt it wrong paralytic

[dannyk13]

Para (soldier) +anagram of tickle minus k (Potassium) does give Paraletic but that is incorrect spelling.Setters error?
//Someone who is paralytic is very drunk//

[mallyh]

perhaps they will accept both spellings as it's in the urban dictionary as paraletic

[dannyk13]

Which urban dictionary Mally?

paralytic - Urban Dictionarywww.urbandictionary.com › define › term=paralytic

Not needed now you have the correct clue but this is 'The Urban Dictionary' - beware of obscenities.
