Can alcohol get you drunk if used in a sauce?

Yes, alcohol can get you drunk if used in a sauce, but the amount needed would typically be quite high. When cooked, some of the alcohol may evaporate, depending on the cooking method and duration, but not all of it will. As a result, a dish prepared with a significant amount of alcohol may still retain enough to cause intoxication, especially if consumed in large portions. However, for most culinary applications, the alcohol content is usually low enough that it is unlikely to have a noticeable effect.
