Do not pour leftover Baileys down the sink, warns water expert

An Irish water company has warned people of the dangers of pouring a beloved Christmas tipple down the sink.

Baileys is a popular choice of drink over the festive season as many people stockpile in advance of visitors. However, the liquer has a relatively short shelf life, resulting in many people disposing of their bottles in January.
