Do you cook with alcohol?

Yeah I do/would. But it's never that much. Not even a cup of wine or something.
I find that thinking it's a big deal turns it into a big deal. When my mind goes down the path of "should I put this in there?" I start to think about alcohol and why I'm not drinking and blah blah blah. If I don't stress about it there's no problem. I'm not doing it to get drunk by any means.
That approach doesn't work for everyone, I know, but for me it's ok.

There's lots of food that contains alcohol that I avoid, I don't like brandy butter for example, I have never used alcohol in my home cooking much, too busy drinking it to waste in food!
I have eaten out some places or had food brought to a dinner party that I haven't been able to eat as I can taste the alcohol.
I just try to avoid it as much as possible.... Especially the handwash, eurgh, think I'm allergic to alcohol
Oh and those cherry liqueur chocs were a favourite... I just avoid as much as possible, it really is a big problem for me, makes me feel ill and can ruin a good meal.
Interesting topic and thanks for the list Dee; very useful

I've eaten desserts and meat courses with a little alcohol in them at restaurants, as well as had the occasional NA beer, none of which has caused me a problem. But that's just me. If one has a tendency to obsess about it, then better to avoid.
On the other hand, I never keep alcohol in my home, for cooking or drinking, and I can't be in a relationship with someone who does, or drinks in front of me on a regular basis. I can't resist that sort of constant temptation.
