There is generally no alcohol in soy sauce, though brands may differ. For example, Kikkoman Soy Sauce lists its ingredients as water, wheat, soybeans, salt, Sodium Benzoate and less than 1/10 of 1% as preservative.

While this is the case with many commercial soy sauces, some soy sauces undergo ageing and fermentation for several months, in a process similar to brewing. Soy sauces such as these can also have an alcohol content of between one and five percent.

The ingredients of a traditional bottle of Worcestershire sauce sold in the UK as "The Original & Genuine Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce" are malt vinegar (from barley), spirit vinegar, molasses, sugar, salt, anchovies, tamarind extract, onions, garlic, spice, and flavouring. The "spice" and "flavouring" is believed to include cloves, soy sauce, lemons, pickles and peppers. Notes from the 1800s were found by company accountant Brian Keogh dumped in a skip, which he rescued. The documents are to be placed on display at the Worsestershire Museum. Apart from distribution for its home market, Lea & Perrins supplies this recipe in concentrate form to be bottled abroad.

In addition to the above and more specifically to the question, No. As listed above is 'SPIRIT VINEGAR' which could very well be a by-product of a distillation of (as in our area) ethanol, and there are many uses from the start of grains (corn, wheat, barley) to end product. Spirit vinegar is just one. No true ALCOHOL for consumption.

Soy sauce does contain a small amount of ethanol (drinking alcohol), but the said amount is not considered to be alcoholic enough for one to become intoxicated.
