sleep tight
the expression "sleep tight" has its origins in bed design.
modern frame style beds (like the one i am sleeping on) have a headboard, a footboard, and rails at the sides, with ledges that support some kind of lateral struts for the mattress to rest atop. previously however, beds had the headboard, footboard, horizontal "rails" but no slats. instead they had ropes that were held in place and tensioned. before sleeping one would tension up the ropes. hence "sleep tight"

random things to tell your friends
beer is made of 4 ingredients : water, hopps, barley and yeast
yeast causes the fermentation, of which alcohol is a byproduct.
yeast acts by "eating" sugars and or carbohydrates
however, as the fermentation process produces alcohol, the alcohol kills off the yeast, stopping the fermentation, limiting the alcohol content of undistilled beverages to about 18% you wouldent want to let things get that alcolholic anyway cos they wind up tasting bad.
distilled alcohols get stronger than that by distillation, where the fermented mixture is heated and the pure alcohol evaporates away before the water does, and is then used to make a stronger drink.
yummy.
