    What to drink when not drinking alcohol

    I've decided to have a week or two off the beer. Any suggestions on different drinks to try when avoiding alcohol? (I'm not a big tea drinker and already drink lots of water)

    Study for your job

    Does anyone else have to do courses related to your job? I can't believe I am the only one up at 00:30 writing nonsensical essays about wrists and MRIs. I'm fed up of this - wish I'd chosen a profession without this added nonsense! :doh:

    Pitch more yeast?
