If you've not given up the booze for Dry January then you might fancy the offer of a free drink at pubs across Burton and South Derbyshire this weekend.
Pub company, Ei Publican Partnerships, is giving away up to 33,000 free drinks until this Sunday, January 20, in a bid to cheer up the nation.
Pubs taking part include The Crossing in Burton and Red Lion, in Linton.
Whether it is a beer, refreshing fruit cider or a gin and tonic you're after, there are 20 choices available for those wanting to make the most of the deal.
You can pick from a variety of drinks including Coors Light, Carling, Rekorderlig Strawberry and Lime cider, J20, Strongbow, Bulmers, John Smiths, Amstel, Guinness and Gordon's gin. Ei terms and conditions apply.
If you are one of the thousands of people attempting to complete Dry January, do not worry, as non-alcoholic beer and soft drinks are also up for grabs as part of the offer.

Managing director at Ei Publican Partnerships, Nick Light, said: "We're wishing everyone a Happy New Year and encouraging people to be social in January.
"The pub is the original social network, where you can catch up with friends and be part of a local community and just because Christmas is over doesn't mean you can't go out and enjoy yourself.
"We recognise that many people are saving money in the New Year having indulged at Christmas so we're making it easier by giving the nation a free drink."
The offer comes after Burton brewer Marston's announced its own alternative to Dry January, by launching 'Tryanuary' to encourage people to turn away from their usual tipple and sample a new drink instead - either something they would have never usually have tried or something from a local brewery.
To claim your drink in the Ei Publican Partnerships offer you have to do is download a voucher to your phone from www.freedrinkoffer.co.uk and show it at the bar at your nearest participating watering hole.
But be quick, as the offer is only available until January 20.
