Beer, Wine & Spirits - March 2007

I am a recovering alcoholic, and I take a medication called Antabuse to help me to avoid "slips." This medication causes a person to get very sick if they imbibe any alcohol. My problem is that I love to cook, and wish I could use wine in some of my dishes. I know the alcohol is supposed to evaporate, but does anyone out there have the knowledge of how high the heat must be, or how long the cooking, for ALL the alcohol to "cook off"? I asked my doctor, and even he doesn't know, and wants to err on the side of caution. I certainly don't want to make myself sick, and know there are substitutes that can be used (chicken broth, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, etc) but some recipes really demand the real thing. Does anybody have knowlege of this to solve my dilemma? Thanks.

I am a college student who likes to drink socially on weekends and have been doing so since high school. My tolerance for drinking has gotten higher and I have no problem holding my alcohol. My question is, why I used to be able to take shots of hard alcohol without even a chaser, and my gag reflex has now gotten weak over the past three years. It started out as an occasional thing and now happens all the time. Now I can't drink anything but beer without gagging, having my mouth water and sometimes even becoming sick.

I absolutely HATE the taste of acohol!!! But sometimes, I want to sit back and have a few drinks with my friends. I like amoretto sours, but I'm tired of drinking those- plus I heard theres not much alcohol in those. I need something that doesn't taste like alcohol, but can give me a good buzz- or just relax me. Any suggestions? I don't like orange juice or mango or anything like that...so leave those suggestions out. haha.

I absolutely HATE beer. I hate the bitterness of it. I also hate wine because it has that bitter woody taste. I like fruity things though, like Bloody Mary's, Margaritas, Daiquiris, Hard Lemonade, and just straight tequila. But I hate beer and beerish flavored things. Does anybody have any suggestions on alcohol to drink for my beer hating tastes?

Our neighbours are coming over this weekend to visit. I need help choosing which wine to serve with cheese and crackers, and possibly other munchies as yet undecided. Last time they came over, they brought Wyndham Bin 555, so I wanted to pick something equally fruit forward and easy drinking, but Canadian. I've narrowed it down to:

-Quail's Gate Old Vines Foch Limited Release 2002
-Burrowing Owl Merlot 2002
-Sandhill Cabernet Franc 2002
-Sumac Ridge Meritage 2002

Thanks for your suggestions!
