Yeah, boo to the Nyquil. I didn't know the stuff was 25% alcohol...no wonder teenagers abused it, that's just asking for trouble. lol
I think though, that alcohol that has been thoroughly cooked into the food should be fine. My mom was a little overzealous with her red wine au jus...meaning I think she made the stuff with the wine and THEN dumped in another cup of wine after cooking. lol I think this time around when I explain to my parents I'm not drinking, I better actually explain why so they don't think "A little booze won't kill her!"
