                                          (Edit: crossed with Kev)

                                          Anagram ("-stricken") of TT (= not drinking) WHILE GRIEF. "Clean performer" as in the clean and jerk phases of weightlifting.

                                          Possibly borderline to allude to an abbreviation as part of the anagram fodder, though I've seen it used often enough in Graun cryptics.

                                            Yeah, it's fine and fair but thanks! Just my Monday-morning brain a bit slow on the uptake.
