The festive season is over, and many Brits are stuck with the reminders of what a jolly time they had – including copious amounts of leftover Baileys. Many people love the creamy, boozy beverage, but it's usually not something that can be consumed in large amounts. It also doesn't last very long.
Inevitably, the alcoholic Irish cream will go off once it's opened, and it's recommended you drink it within six months. As Dry January is in full swing, you may be thinking of disposing of the liquid down the drain – but Southern Water has now issued a warning against it.
Alex Saunders, head of Southern Water's wastewater network, warns: "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."
