Have you ever been told that the rum cake or vodka sauce was safe to eat because the alcohol cooks off of it? Well, that’s not exactly true. According to AOL Food:
“If you heat a booze-based concoction for a few hours, the alcohol level will significantly lessen, but a quick flambe, simmer or bake only knocks the potency back by 50% or less. So, while a slice of rum cake won’t get you tipsy, it’s still a good idea to warn folks who don’t normally consume alcohol.”
So think twice before you eat and drive

Eat responsibly.
