It’s a traditional Christmas tipple, but did you know Baileys liqueur could cause very expensive blockages if you dispose of it in the wrong way?<\/p>\n
Plumbers in the UK have issued a ‘serious’ warning to those who might be planning on pouring the contents of their old bottles down the sink before opening a fresh one.<\/p>\n
The Irish liqueur has a very short shelf life, and it is recommended you polish off the bottle just six months after opening it.<\/p>\n
You may think to pour any leftovers down the sink, but plumbers have warned this could ‘wreak havoc’ with the pipes underneath, and leave you with a hefty bill.<\/p>\n
This is due to the high fat content in Baileys, which can stick to pipes and cause trouble in the system.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Plumbers in the UK have issued a ‘serious’ warning to those who might be planning on pouring the contents of their old bottles down the sink before opening a fresh one<\/p>\n
One tradesman at MyBuilder.com told the Mirror: ‘Cream liqueur drinks, such as the popular Christmas favourite, Baileys, can be a problem for your plumbing at Christmas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘While it may be delicious to drink, it doesn’t keep for long and often ends up down the sink.<\/p>\n
‘However, this sort of beverage should never be disposed of in this way. Cream liqueurs have a large fat content and as such fall into the category of FOG (Fats, Oils, and Greases).\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘FOG should never go down the sink, as it sticks to pipes and can cause blockages.’<\/p>\n
Additionally, the tradesmen have warned those cooking Christmas dinner to be careful how they dispose of their turkey fat – which is another FOG.<\/p>\n
They noted that when this fat cools, it hardens and creates a blockage.<\/p>\n
Instead, families should opt for disposing of this type of fat in the bin.<\/p>\n
