    If you eat food with alcohol in it, are you breaking the pledge?

    I´d say no, sure theres lots of medicines that have alcohol in it to , I doubt there would be any harm in eating trifle or the like, I took the pledge myself when I was a youngster lasted into lateish teens too

    The pledge doesn't include alchohol for medicinal purposes and generally, alchohol in food is cooked off, so you're ok. Anyway, isn't the Pledge a pledge to not drink alchohol. Eating it isn't the same. The whole point is that you're not going out on the piss, isn't it?

    I had always thought that alcohol in food is cooked off, but apparently not: http://www.ochef.com/165.htm

    Such as bread for example.

    However, as far as you're concerned, alcohol is only an issue when it is present in such quantities that it overwhelms the liver and gets sent to the brain, whereupon it causes intoxication.

    Otherwise we'd have to say your an opium user if you eat poppy-seed bagels.
