I had some Bailey's the other night which was best before November 2006... I know lots of people don't worry about this sort of thing, and I know someone who was drinking Bailey's from 2004!!

What do you reckon?  Does alcohol last ages??

Alcohol is often used as a preservative, so I imagine that most alcohols would be safe, and cannot see why (apart from bureaucrascy) that they should have a sell by date.
Bailey’s is more than alcohol, and is probably okay (as you have discovered) but I think I would be more careful with something with added cream.

All this written in Word, because my PC is typing backwards on forums 

Should be ok. Plus the cream in Baily's is longlife anyway, so until it's opened it will be fine.
