Irish households at Christmas are always laced with bottles of Baileys, which could end up out of date by the time you get to them.
For most people, the first thought it to throw the bottle’s content down the sink and recycle the bottle so there is no mess. However, plumbing experts have issued a post-Christmas warning about the popular cream liqueur because it can apparently wreak havoc with the pipes under your sink.
Because of its rich nature, manufacturers recommend that you drink it within six months of opening the bottle. But with thousands of people opting to take part in Dry January this month, you might be tempted to get rid of any alcohol by pouring it down the sink.
