I am fully aware that I shouldn’t drink alcohol while on Ritalin, however I do sometimes cook with it, so I was curious on if that’s a major problem, as the relative quantity of alcohol is much lower than when drinking it. Say for instance a sauce that’s 1/5 Sake (15% alcohol) of which you then use around 30-40ml. That’s barely any alcohol, so should I be worried and maybe not take my meds when I’m planning on making food containing alcohol, or is it fine if I just avoid beers and wines and such?
Edit: The consensus seems to be that it’s fine, especially if it cooks longer, because it’s a low amount and at high heat the alcohol cooks away anyways. Thank you everyone for your input!
Bearing in mind that I’m an unqualified rando on the Internet: I dunno, alcohol evaporates much more readily than water (which is how distillation is possible), so if you reduce that sauce by 15% then you probably got most of it.
Edit: hmm, yeah but you probably aren’t reducing it by 15% in a minute or two like you say unless it’s really boiling
