The Illustrated Oxford Dictionary (1998) : Page 640 lists the word practice with seven definitions. The word practise is also listed on the same page: "practise. Brit. var. of Practice v." EOT/BH/11/17/99.

Actually, in British English both Practise and Practice exist happily. (at least in the good old days when I was sober)

Practice is a NOUN

Practise is the VERB.

Hence you go to Cricket Practice to practise for a match.

that said.....DRINK!!!!!!!!!!!
