I DEDUCE that lightly-cooked eggs are used in eggnog... and that the maker can choose to cook them for a longer or shorter period of time, and that certain people on this board NEED TO COOL DOWN. Thankyou. I deduce that you're wrong in your deducing. Raw eggs are used in the drink, the warning is just saying that raw and lightly cooked eggs might contain bacteria. The chances of salmonella are slim to none, like 20,000 to 1 or so. Plus, the eggs whites dont support bacteria growth anyway, and you use more of those.
