Drink-drive dessert alert

DINERS should beware of eating too much dessert in case it puts them over the drinkdrive limit, a study found.

Research suggests two portions of the popular Italian dish tiramisu – which usually contains two tablespoons of brandy, Tia Maria or Amaretto, sometimes all three – could put you over the limit.

Fans of the dessert are warned to stick to one portion. Other favourites on the ‘warning list’ include sherry trifle and Christmas pudding.
