Just curious, but can eating vodka sauce actually get you tipsy?

[Kurt]

Hello, curious cooks! I've always wondered, with vodka being a key ingredient, can eating vodka sauce actually lead to a little tipsiness? Or does the cooking process change things up? I'm all about enjoying my pasta responsibly. Would love to hear what you think or know about this. Thanks!

Hey there! From what I've heard, the alcohol in vodka sauce mostly evaporates during cooking, so you're left with the flavor but not the boozy effects. But hey, if you're looking for a little extra kick, you could always serve it with a side of vodka-infused cocktail, right? Just remember to enjoy responsibly!

It can give a slight buzz! Vodka sauce usually retains some alcohol content after cooking.
