There are five days left to place bids on second-week items in CL's online Holiday Auction. This round ends at 9 a.m. Sunday, folks, and too many nifty drink-related packages haven't been noticed.

First off, no one's really bidding on Coppertail Brewing Co.'s free-growlers-for-a-year deal. Earth to everyone: You'll get a 32-ounce jug of craft beer every dang month. And there's a $50 King Corona Cigars gift card — which could be used to score a Cuban coffee or sandwich, cigars and more — paired with the offer, too.

The Bends' Tiki Night outing is also a cool bundle. It provides you and your drinking compatriots a dozen of the bar's tiki cocktails (three each), and one pour of owners Victoria and Matt Kaye's famed scorpion bowls to share.

For the sports fans, this auction week's got a Miller Lite Party Deck pass to Raymond James Stadium for two Sunday, Dec. 28, with viewing access of the Bucs game, of course. You'll both receive three Miller Lites and a $10 food credit.

If you feel like your liver needs a break, Squeeze Juice Works has you covered with a five-day juice cleanse. The offer comes with five 16-ounce juices packed with fruits and veggies. There's a 16-ounce bottle of nut milk thrown in as well.

And don't miss the music-meets-food package from Jannus Live. It features two tickets to the Blue October show Friday, Dec. 19, as well as a $50 credit at The Kitchen, the restaurant-bar that's neighbors with venue.
