Quizmonkey.... help! One other clue driving me nuts.... this clue has an extraneous word in it which is either "water" or "cold". The full clue is: Water pressure on cold drink vessel(7). If "water" is the extraneous word the clue is: Pressure on cold drink vessel (7) leading to _ _ E _ A _ A. If "cold" is the extraneous word the clue is: Water pressure on drink vessel (7) leading to _ _ A _ A _ H. Hope this makes sense After this puzzle, if it's completed, I think I'd better stick to simpler ones!
Any pointer would be welcome.
Thanks.

While you're waiting for QM2..
Possibly - PRECAVA ( vessel , the superior Vena Cava)
P=pressure
RE=on
CAVA=drink
..but the wordplay doesn't include the"cold" bit, unless Cava can be described as a cold drink.
Question Author
Brilliant Slaney, PRECAVA is the answer. P (pressure) + RE (on) + C (cold) + AVA (drink, alternative spelling of KAVA in Chambers).
Thanks again.

Ah - that was careless of me - I had looked up kava (ava) in Chambers, but just read the first line "aromatic plant of the pepper family", and failed to notice the "narcotic drink" bit!
