What may be a little bit of me. The alcohol remiaining in a dish that has 
cooked is INSIGNIFICANT. The fractions involved translate into about 1/100th 
of a tsp per serving or something equally bizaare and without significance. 

The myth is not that  ALL the alcohol goes away but rather the REAL myth is 
that any amounts remain which would be legally a problem. Since the  legal 
bottomline percentage is 1 percent, alcohol used in cooking is really not a 
factor to consider in any point that matters to a generalk population. While 
certain religious groups adn  rare health concerns may be of some imnportance 
to particular individuals, their  particular concerns  are an individual 
problem, not one which would (or should) have any impact on  regulations 
designed for controlling a general organizational policy.

The bottom line..Corpora says  it may be  boughten and used in cooking. If an 
individual chooses to use religion, health or statistically irrelevant 
amounts of alcohol as reasons not to enjoy good food, that is their choice 
and off board is always an option.
