What was mentioned in the video, that there is no non-intoxicating alcohol, is incorrect. Not everything that chemists call alcohol is intoxicating. Rather, in this matter, one should refer to specialists. The presence of alcohol as an original component in the formation of some foods does not mean that it is impure and forbidden to use. Therefore, one must banish obsessive thoughts that could lead to committing major sins.
