In small amounts it is safe and to add some flavour, not to get anyone drunk :P -Admin

Wine, brandy, liquors, liqueurs, Bourbon-Tequila-Vodka, and many other alcohol bearing beverages are used in cooking. They add flavors, they sometimes will enhance the flavor of an ingredient, they also are used to 'deglaze' a cooking pan to free the tasty bits stuck to the pan.

Because they are usually cooked into a dish, the heat makes the alcohol evaporate. There might be a tiny bit of alcohol left in a dish, but not something to make you feel it.

Exceptions to that can be 'rum balls' 'rum cake' and other things that have the alcoholic beverage added to a cold food.
