    People who pour grease down the drain have definitely never unclogged a drain before.

    Usually something like half fibers (hair, tampons, “flushable” wipes, etc), half grease and fats.

    If it’s a solid at room temp, it probably shouldn’t go down the drain.

        I’m pretty sure the risk is lower, but you probably still shouldn’t. I think the problem is that anything fatty/oily can emulsify with other things that get poured down the drain and potentially thicken into a blockage even if they weren’t in that state when you poured them down
