Just to echo your comments about salt, I am not a salt user in general but during treatment I can't stand the taste and don't need anything else to dehydrate me.  Everything tastes like cardboard.

Heat takes care of the alcohol in recipes.
No need to worry about cooked dishes.
The alcohol evaporates leaving only the flavor.

Cooking tends to take the alcohol out of food.
I wouldn't worry about it.

For future reference, read labels first.
