It is difficult to compile a list of products containing alcohol. When purchasing, if the ingredients can be read, then anything containing alcohol should be avoided. If not, the seller can be asked. Otherwise, the default state of things is purity. If a product is overwhelmingly likely to contain alcohol, then avoiding it is preferable, as a matter of leaving doubts. The default state of things is purity and permissibility, and one should not deviate from this except with certainty or a strong presumption of the existence of something that takes it out of its original state. Doubt does not necessitate deviation.
