Grin I read that as in pissed off as in annoyed and was going to say yes as my kids hate casserole.
But in answer to your question no the alcohol will be absorbed in cooking.

no because you will cook off the alcohol so there will be no alcohol content in it

I think the alcohol evaporates just leaving the flavour.

(Might be wrong, though).

Not all the alcohol burns off, probably enough that they won't get pissed.

If the alcohol hasn't cooked off, it won't taste so good.

I too thought you meant they would get fed up of it!

The alcoholic content is cooked out.

Its a bit of a myth about the alcohol burning off. Depending on how it is cooked its likely to have retained anything from 5 to 45% of the alcohol content. Sorry.

But even if you used a whole bottle to make the caserole, there's probably only a small amount per (child sized) serving, so I still wouldn't worry about it. My kids don't seem to mind, anyway!

In a casserole that has cooked a long time it will be much nearer to 5% retained than 45% - according to this chart anyway!

If you are doing it in a sc then there will be more alcohol.

But our stomachs cope with anything with less than 1% alcohol in it, without us getting drunk at all - bread can have up to 1% alcohol, and nobody gets drunk off that.
