I agree... things like fruit juice or fruit puree (maybe along with chicken or other stock and a bit of vinegar if not using a sour fruit), flavored vinegars (apple, rice, etc.), some extracts (those without alcohol), etc. would be good.
The basic thing is just to think of what the wine or liqueur specified actually has in it (besides the alcohol):
... e.g....grapes or grape juice (white or red), sugar, peach-apple-plum-apricot or other fruits and things that are present in liqueurs, etc.
Not sure what goes into brandy or sherry that's more than grapes and sugar, but you could probably find out online.

In most recipes the alcohol evaporates from the heat leaving the other flavors behind. You can't really substitute anything for liqueur.
Just FYI: Vanilla and other extracts you've probably used in other recipes also contain alcohol. So if you're concerned about consuming aside from what you need for the recipe just buy the smallest bottle you can find and then pour the remainder out when you have what you need.

I'm not sure about substitutes, but all of the alcohol is burned off in the cooking process and the only thing you are left with is the flavor.

The answer to your question is orange juice or apple juice are good substitutes for alcohol. The point is they cannot and do not consume alcohol.

It depends on the recipe, lemon, apple or orange juice would go well with chicken. Lemon juice for fish. Flavored vingears can be added to a sauces and dressings. Chicken, beef or vegetable broth for soup, gravies and sauces. I never tried non alcoholic wines but it might be worth your while.

I'm not sure why you cant consume alcohol but when used in a recipe, alcohol more or less burns off but the flavor remains.

No fear, if your recipe is one that you will be simmering or cooking , the alcohol cooks out of it(evaporates) and leaves the flavor behind. My family doesn't use alcohol either. I have found it difficult to get the same flavor results using imitation flavors. So if its cooked out, don't worry and if it's not cooked , try artificial flavoring that's not alcohol based (tricky to find though).

If you are cooking something and add an alcoholic drink to it, the alcohol will be vaporized, alcohol vaporizes at approx. 70 degrees Celsius, water at 100. So there is no problem, there will be no alcohol in your food and you won't get drunk either

Some red vinegar or white vinegar. They have some with herbs and spices soaked in them that should make a good healthy alternative, I would only use half what the recipe calls for.

There are non-alcohol substitutes, just look for what the recipe calls for.
