WOW! LONG TIME AND NO ONE HAS ANSWERED? WELL WHEN YOU COOK, WITH BOURBON OR ANY OTHER LIQUOR, THE ALCOHOL GOES UP WITH THE STEAM AND LEAVES ONLY A DELICIOUS FLAVOR, SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY. I COOK WITH VARIOUS WINES ETC. BUT HAVE NEVER TAKEN ANY WINE OR OTHER ALCOHOL TO MY LIPS UNTIL AFTER IT IS COOKED.
