A slow cooker can burn food for several reasons, including cooking at too high a temperature, using insufficient liquid, or placing it on an uneven surface. Additionally, if the lid is not properly sealed, moisture can escape, leading to scorching. Overcooked food can also stick to the sides, resulting in burnt spots. Regularly checking and adjusting cooking times and ingredients can help prevent this issue.

No I think not. A slow cooker should get hot enough to burn off (evaporate) the alcohol, especially if you cook on high since this is over the boiling point of alcohol. But the problem I see is the lid of the slow cooker is designed to catch the evaporating liquid and return it to the food. This is why the food does not dry out when you cook it for eight hours. Thus in the end, I think much of the evaporated alcohol will condense on the lid and then would be returned to the food. Net loose of alcohol, logically would seem not much. Be careful.
