I substitute beer for water whenever I can and ppl like it. I find the lighter and more in the Tecate/Budweiser end of the spectrum it is the better. I've tried cooking with microbrews and I've ended up with a brown mess with hops dominating.
Wine has many applications and can really bring out the zing in a dish, at times it is absolutely essential.
Booze is more for desserts, and I'll leave those to other people, as I'm absent a sweet tooth.
