There isn't such a thing.

DrWankincense · 30/12/2021 20:15

In December, I agree with @ImFree2doasiwant.

DramaAlpaca · 30/12/2021 20:15

Any Baileys is too much. It's disgusting, sweet, sickly stuff.

scrivette · 30/12/2021 20:17

It can be drunk with coffee, hot chocolate, ice or on its own, I don't think there is a case of too much. I may go and pour myself some now you have made me think about it...

When you drink it by the pint like Tommy Walsh did in Celebrity Fit Club.

l have a generous tipple in my coffee, throughout December, it is essential for my wellbeing along with a nice mince pie.

Two bottles. Its way too much. Its about half a stone… Blush

This. Otherwise there is no limit.

Though I remember one house party where I was sat chatting with friends in a quieter room and every time someone came in, I'd hold out my glass and demand a refill.

Now, if anyone had told me to get off my lazy ass and do it myself, I probably wouldn't have bothered. But they all obliged.

I spent the second half of the night throwing up and only realised the next day that I'd drunk the entire large bottle by myself. I was fairly delicate all day.

So maybe that much is too much.

One.

Can't stand it. Sorry!

One of the smaller bottles once a year is enough.
If its not a little sippy occasional treat it loses its appeal.
Advocaat, sherry, ginger wine and cinzano fall in the same category.

LeQuern · 30/12/2021 20:26

Agree, that one is too many.

Sickly sweet, too rich, too creamy. Revolting stuff.

MissAmbrosia · 30/12/2021 20:27

Salted caramel Bailey's in Hot chocolate. Om nom nom. I can just pretend I am up a mountain somewhere.

Undertheoldlindentree · 30/12/2021 20:31

Any.

Riddo · 30/12/2021 20:32

I am currently drinking a large glass of Baileys, I thought there wasn't much left in the bottle but there turned out to be quite a lot! I'm starting to feel slightly sick.

Justcannotbearsed · 30/12/2021 20:32

@MissAmbrosia salted caramel Baileys I did not know that was a thing…

Next Christmas I am gonna treat myself to a pint of baileys. Smile
I bought a litre which last approx 24 hours, uni students and baileys are a dangerous combo. Grin

AnotherMansCause · 30/12/2021 20:55

Not possible.

Shebangshebong · 30/12/2021 21:16

You can never ever have too much

RiderGirl · 30/12/2021 21:20

Tesco do a version of Baileys which is salted caramel, drink of the gods, I am currently supping on a glass

user1471453601 · 30/12/2021 21:21

When you only leave me a very small glass (not having any other Bailys this xmas). Yes DD, I'm looking at you.

In her defence, she has bought another bottle today

BitterTits · 30/12/2021 21:21

Well between us we've got through several bottles since November, so I'm not really the person to ask.

TheCreamCaker · 30/12/2021 21:22

No such thing as too much. I love it.

ZenNudist · 30/12/2021 21:22

I have salted caramel Baileys in to be drunk. Too full tonight to make a start.
