When I stayed and helped out at the Northcote Heavy Horse Center in Lincolnshire for a couple of weeks in August of 2010, one evening the (retired) couple who had originally founded the place invited me to try the wines (with cheese) of Saumur, the region of France where they now live. All told, I'd be surprised if I had as much as 8 ounces in total all evening (none of us even got tipsy, because we'd eat a little cheese, then take a sip, and so on). I slept very well that night, and had no muscle tightness problems.

A 20+ year old tradition started at our Friday Night Launches and Campouts at Pawnee Grasslands in Northern Colorado was to consume what we dubbed “Pudding Delights” — a Jello Pudding Cup (vanilla recommended) enhanced with a pour of Bailey’s or Kahlua. Fill to the rim, stir, and enjoy.

I was just remembering that when I was in my late teens, my best friend's mother used to make Irish Cream. I think it was something like a cup of Irish Whisky, some chocolate syrup, and pouring cream. There's bound to be good recipes on the Internet. Might save a few dollars over the long run if you're that way inclined.
That one we used to keep refrigerated, btw. |

If you use even moderately decent Irish Whiskey (Bailey's does, Emmet's and Carolans does not) for making "home brew" Irish cream liqueur along with real CREAM (not half/half or some other nonsense) you will be hard pressed to do it for under $20/750ml.
The main taste difference between Bailey's and the cheaper brands is due to the use of crappy Irish whisky used by the cheap-o brands.

Somebody gave us an off brand Irish Cream a few years ago. I think it was Brendan’s. We used it in coffee. By itself, or over ice, it was not in the same league as Bailey’s.

Most "off brand" liqueur is just that..."off" and sucks.
Irish Cream- Get Bailey's. Coffee- Kahlua or Tia Maria; both great but different. Raspberry- Chambord Orange- Cointreau or Grand Marnier; different but equally good- NEVER get orange Triple Sec; that stuff is total crap. Amaretto- DiSaronno- Nothing is even close Limoncello- most all brands $18 and above are good. Hazelnut- Frangelico Absinthe- Lucid Cognac- Nothing below XO grade (pricey but worth it), Remy Martin, Courvosier, and Hennessy all good. Trying to substitute those on the cheap is like comparing Salisbury steak to Ribeye...not even close. ALWAYS go for QUALITY over quantity ! Life is too short to drink cheap liquor.

My experience with Baileys
My sister-in-law was raving about how good the stuff was. I got a bottle to try and thought it was OK, but I was not as crazy about it as she was. Anyway, I put the bottle in the liquor cabinet along with all our other stuff, and the next time I pulled it out I found it had turned into a $30 bottle of goo.
I was told afterward that you are supposed to refrigerate Baileys after you open the bottle but I went back and looked at the label and it said NOTHING about refrigeration. However it tastes (and I have found many other liquids that I enjoy far more), I will not be purchasing any more of the stuff.

A bottle of Bailey's would have to sit unrefrigerated for over 2 years to turn to "goo".
