I don’t understand the question. Hmm

[quote Justcannotbearsed]@MissAmbrosia salted caramel Baileys I did not know that was a thing…[/quote]
I think tesco salted caramel liquor is better

That’s it. I’m off to pour myself a very generous Baileys now I’ve heard some people call it Christmas milk 😁

200 ml in one evening is too much for me. I would survive but the joy would be lost.

I did used to have it at Christmas

But then I discovered alaskan ducks fart cocktails which are icecream based and now have to have it in the summer as well

One bottle throughout December and New Year, to keep us going.
I love it!

Impatientwino · 30/12/2021 22:44

It's December so I think it's pretty much fair game however I did try one year to 'tidy up' the rest of our litre bottle of baileys on NYE even though it still felt quite heavy because we were starting our annual dry January the next day and I felt like a dogs arse for about 3 days. I forget it has whisky in!

MushroomHunter · 30/12/2021 22:51

I once drank 3 bottles in one night, I was very very sick! Haven’t had alcohol since, that was about 2 years ago!

frugalkitty · 30/12/2021 22:52

I've gone through two bottles this December.....then got two as presents but have put those away for next Christmas 😇

Christmas Baileys has to be the real thing though, that's the law. Baileys at any other time of the year can be the Lidl knock off.

The worst hangover I had was from Baileys. One year when I decided it had to be finished before the New Year started

EachandEveryone · 30/12/2021 22:56

Ive been tight this year and have sampled Aldis, Icelands and Sainsburys. They werent bad but not as thick as the real thing. I have some left and Im determined to do dry January so I may as well finish it.

Xmasiscancelledagain · 30/12/2021 22:57

There is no such thing as too much Baileys.

We've been disappointingly sensible with it this year. Usually we go through a litre bottle per week from Mid November. I don't think we've finished a bottle yet this Christmas.

I am ashamed of who I have become. I will get shit faced on it tomorrow now.

ShockShockShock The fact you're still alive to recount this tale is impressive!!

Coco pops + baileys = breakfast of champions

Northernsoullover · 30/12/2021 23:00

If you drink too much you wake up with a layer of curdling baileys from your mouth to your anus (internally, although I suppose you could dribble if you drank too much).

cakewitch · 30/12/2021 23:07

I want to say that there isn't too much, ever, but sadly, the reality for me is, as I've recently discovered even one measure is enough to send my stomach into a flippy horrid mess. I want so badly to have some this festive season but I cant.

stinkycheeseman · 30/12/2021 23:09

When you have baileys teeth coat.

Bellsandsnow · 30/12/2021 23:10

I'm on my forth.... 🙈 No such thing as too much. The Christmas drink!

jo55ie · 30/12/2021 23:14

Mine keeps evaporating 😂 discovered I could have it in the morning with coffee... oooooh how naughty

Oh my GOD what a gamechanger. DH is working tomorrow night, I may have that for my tea
Coolnewtrainers · 31/12/2021 00:00

Absolutely love this thread! Off to pour myself a glass now, since you’ve all encouraged me. Grin

IaltagDhubh · 31/12/2021 00:10

I don’t drink, but I bought a bottle this Christmas for some reason. Vaguely thinking about Baileys in hot chocolate, I think. I haven’t a clue what to do with it, though, so it’s still unopened. I have got as far a putting it in the fridge.

Ringonrighthand · 31/12/2021 00:11

Flat white martinis all the way! Baileys, a little vodka and black coffee shaken with ice and poured into martini glass = pure sex

Ringonrighthand · 31/12/2021 00:12

I currently have covid with a v sore throat so I’ve already planned my coffee baileys milkshake tomorrow with ice cream in it!

SerenTarot · 31/12/2021 00:14

One sip is too much for me. It's vile muck.
