Experts are warning people not to pour Irish cream liqueurs like Baileys and Ballycastle down the drain after Christmas. The whisky and cream drink is popular over the festive period but some are now turning away from it thanks to the alcohol-free dry January trend.
But experts say that anyone tempted to make sure they don't drink the alcohol by pouring it done the drain could cause serious problems. Southern Water has now issued a warning against it, reports The Mirror.
Alex Saunders, head of Southern Water's wastewater network, said: "Something like Baileys, which has a cream content could add to problems. No one likes a nasty surprise over the festive season and a blocked drain is no different."
