Those looking for something a little different to do on their Wednesday evenings need look no further than Prism, which is running a series of educational drinking games on hump days this summer. Past events have featured a food-and-wine quiz challenge and a lesson in Latin cocktails; upcoming ones include a master class on beer (6th August; £35 per person), a battle royale between sparkling wine and champagne (13th August; £45), a history of English cocktails (20th August; £35) and a lesson in Italian wines and cheeses (27th August; £35). So instead of going home after work to watch replays of the games in Beijing, stay in the City and get your own games on (all events start at 6:30 PM; call 020-7256 3888 for more information or to make a reservation).
