I don't share it, but I respect those whose view is they're allergic to alcohol, in whatever form, or those simply do not wish to ingest it, regardless of the quantity.

I believe you are good...but if it bugs you,you may want to use another kind of bbq sauce next time.
I have tried it before also,I just wasn`t too crazy about it...sweet baby rays replaced it for me

considering how much alcohol is in some mouthwashes, and that some are bad enough alcoholics that they will turn to mouthwash if they run out, that's not a bad idea to avoid products that contain high amounts of alcohol. JMHO

I can't and will not give up my mouthwash! I was on antabuse for 4 months and it did not make me sick so i think that is ok i guess?! Jeez i can't imagine just brushing without the 1 minute of swishing and gargling! FFS there is a big difference between that and pouring booze into a meal you are cooking, this is a bit of a crazy thread IMO
Mind you much less crazy than my drunk thread 4 nights ago so hey;-)

My take on this...
For me, foods cooked with alcohol could conceivably cause a trigger or craving for alcohol and mess with my head... perhaps setting up relapse. However, for me, accidently or even knowingly consuming a food that may have had alcohol used in it's preparation... is not a loss of sobriety... I mean, really, how many pieces of chicken would you have to eat to even feel it?
But that's me, I understand and respect the point of view that alcohol is alcohol and that an individual might choose to take an absolute zero tolerance approach...
That said,.. My wife will not be making me my favorite Kaluha cake anymore, and a rum cake a client gave me went untouched. Also, I felt kind of weird when I accidently used some listerine that I thought was alcohol free. And, I stopped using the hand sanitizer with alcohol and I don't use 'lectric shave anymore. Partly because the alcohol essence was so strong and partly because I am in a monitoring program and occasionally they will use the super sensitive EtG test that can detect trace amounts...
So, for me. it wouldn't be a loss of sobriety, but eating it could set up a chain of events that could... Sorry this was so long... Enjoy your popcorn laurie!!!

If you take the lid off the bbq sauce and start chugging it, there may be a problem. I'm just kidding.
I think it really is a personal choice thing. Like others have said, if you're eating it to catch a buzz, you probably shouldn't.

I think if there is any danger of having any effects of alcohol come through in any kind of sauce, wouldn't you think that it couldn't be sold to someone under age?
Things that make you go hmmmmm.

Hang on either i am going mad or the original post was not just making out to be it was a bbq sauce from a supermarket, but one homemade using JD out of the bottle, as in the original JD bottle not a frigging HP sauce one?!
The original post has the JD bottle nearby with people taking a swig of it.
If we are debating whether to use a supermarket JD flavoured sauce for mass consumption, of course i am not saying to avoid that! Holy moly!

I don't know much about foods with alcohol but I do use vanilla and other extracts when baking. Granted, I don't eat what I bake because I control my carb intake.
Once, a few months into sobriety I poured the vanilla from the teaspoon into the batter and then LICKED THE SPOON (Habit! You see, vanilla is booze and you don't just put a boozy spoon in the dishwasher without licking it first!!!)
Well, you would have thought I ingested RAT POISON! I ran to the bathroom and spit it out, rinsed out my mouth with water, scraped my tongue. I just do not want any alcohol in any form passing my lips.
I have never done that again.
If eating the bbq sauce has caused you concern, chalk it up and move on if possible. That is what I did~ Although I remember what I did almost everytime I bake, which is often.
The best to you!!!!

My position on this is I do not feel I've forfeited my sobriety because my intention was pure. BUT I do see what my mind can do with this kind of thing and would probably avoid that part of the meal in the future. And besides, who needs a DUC (Driving Under the influence of Chicken)?

duc...lmao...
you would have to chug 5 gallons of JD BBQ sauce to even come close to catching a buzz probably...OD on BBQ sauce...before you get high
I tried my wife`s Listerine once and it nearly knocked my head off...so I use alcohol free stuff now...

Sorry, but I have to disagree with Carol's post. You were perfectly safe in eating Jack Daniels BBQ sauce. Your sobriety is intact, so stop worrying. At the same time, be careful of what you eat while dining out. Certain soups (Bisques for example) are loaded with alcohol, as are a lot of sauces and desserts. The commercial stuff like Jack Daniels
BBQ sauce is perfectly safe, but i can't say the same for stuff prepared in a restaurant kitchen. I was a chef for 20 years and concocted some pretty potent stuff.

joe, with all due respect.. some people that are living alcohol free, are living completely alcohol free, so it DOES matter to them if there is alcohol as an ingredient in anything, be it bbq sauce prepared with a bottle of Jack Daniels like the poster said, or aftershave or mouthwash.
I don't follow that in MY life, but I absolutely respect anyone who does, and I think it's important to consider the issue.
