Anyone who has Baileys left over from Christmas is being warned not to pour it down the sink.
The alcoholic Irish cream will go off once it's opened, and it's recommended you drink it within six months. But with Dry January in full swing, people may be thinking of pouring the liquid down the drain.
However, Southern Water has issued a warning against this as it could result in blockages. 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."
