I am fully aware that I shouldn’t drink alcohol while on Ritalin, however I do sometimes cook with it, so I was curious on if that’s a major problem, as the relative quantity of alcohol is much lower than when drinking it. Say for instance a sauce that’s 1/5 Sake (15% alcohol) of which you then use around 30-40ml. That’s barely any alcohol, so should I be worried and maybe not take my meds when I’m planning on making food containing alcohol, or is it fine if I just avoid beers and wines and such?
Edit: The consensus seems to be that it’s fine, especially if it cooks longer, because it’s a low amount and at high heat the alcohol cooks away anyways. Thank you everyone for your input!


Eh, I never had any issues taking my concerta in the morning and having beers in the evening. Not sure what the negative effects supposedly should be lol
I usually don’t drink much if I took a Ritalin booster but I’d still have a beer if going out for dinner 🤷♂️
(But to answer your question, the amount you’d ingest while cooking would be negligible. Add it a few minutes earlier if you’re worried.)
With a terrible hangover, I agree with this assessment.
You can fix that with a couple activated charcoal pills and hydration before bed
I suffer for my art.
