well, as far as I know the reason why Alcohol is prohibited to drink because of the effects... It blurs reasoning, eradicates inhibition... it intoxicates the person.. as to cooking, I guess it is acceptable, because when you cook, the alcohol is broken down into its basic ingredients so the effect of alcohol is no longer effective... but if you're still doubtful, there are alternatives to alcohol in cooking although the result would be not much as expected. You may use natural white vinegar, grape vinegar or sugarcane vinegar too if you have. Hope this helped.
