Hi Shooty. Could not parse this either. I get the drunk bit = lit up, but cannot connect sp to being childless.
childless without issue sp
Stretching a point but sp could be an abbr for sans progeny?
Tout alors
sine prole latin without issue
Sine Prole (Latin: without issue [no children])
Sp is "sine prole" I suggest
A split is a drink (in that its a trade term for a small bottle of mixer), but the childless part eludes me.
