Storing liquor at home is not the best idea especially around children.
It is not just about the safety of young toddlers but also the naive teenager who wants to explore drinking but is not yet of age.
- Do not leave the door to the home bar open.
- Ensure the liquor cabinet is lockable and locked at all times.
- Drink to the last drop or lock away the remainder.
On the other note, keep the liquor at room temperature or in a fridge to keep it cool and away from direct sunlight.
