Thanks malone and elle.

You're welcome, Hallgreening. I'd got Drugs earlier, when I did this puzzle, but I'm still wondering about the Bacardi!

2d: CON (criminal) G(E)AL (girl taken E(nglish) in)

Don't get 6d: I have D?U?S, so possibly DRUGS

20a: China possibly to one to back who supports Bush (6)
I have ?R?T?A, which could be PRO (supporter) TEA (bush) - but that's not defined by 'china'. A PROTEA can be a bush, but I can't parse the clue to make give me TEA from 'china'.

Hi, Phantom!
I explained "drugs" in an earlier post.
20A. protea= bush(def)
pro- one who supports
tea - China, possibly (blend of tea)

Phantom, and I think you missed the earlier Congeal stuff too!
