8: Whipped chocolate drunk all day long (6,3,5)
around the clock = chocolate drunk (whipped = ind)

By way of hints, UW had two words of 9 correct and the remaining first letters are BMMT (not necessarily in that order).

7. Reprimands French perhaps helping in a big way (6-8) - first letters T - L
Reprimands = Tongue Lashings ? Can't explain the rest...

Both correct. I rather liked French art = es. Denis, tongue = language, hence French perhaps, and lashings = big helping (e.g. of food).
