It bonds with both fat and water molecules, which allows it to carry aromas and flavor. In a marinade, alcohol helps the season the meat and carry flavor (not tenderize). It functions similarly in cooked sauces, making your food smell and taste better. Now, if you don’t like to cook with alcohol, you could substitute. According to The Cook’s Thesaurus, substitute one part vanilla extract plus two parts water for each tablespoon of bourbon.
