Why bother? Because home made tastes better???
When I was a kid the commercial egg nog was pretty good, but it was
made with real ingredients. The last few times I tried commercial
eggnog is was way to sweet and way too artificial.

If it weren't for the cardiac issues I might consider making some
Irish Cream, a pint of cream, a can of sweetened condenses milk, 4
eggs, a spoonful of chocolate syrup, a half bottle of Irish whisky.
