Another question I often get asked: Why are the ordinances of the temple similar to Masonic rituals?

Cooking extracts--such as vanilla, anise, peppermint, etc--contain alcohol. In fact, they typically contain about 70% alcohol per volume, which is almost twice that in most liquors. Is it against the Word of Wisdom to use vanilla extract? Or is it ok to use alcohol occasionally when you are not intending to get drunk? How much is too much? Thanks for the help :)
