I usually don't share news stories but this one caught my attention. I thought it would be something a little different to talk about.
In New Cannan, Conn., police reported a Connecticut woman charged with DUI was drunk on vanilla extract, which contains a significant amount of alcohol.
(Photo courtesy of Bing.) New Canaan police found a 50-year-old female in a car at an intersection with her eyes closed on January 23rd.
Officers also reported they found several bottles of pure vanilla extract inside her vehicle at the time of the stop.

I can't imagine how her stomach could handle all that vanilla extract! It's so concentrate and has such a powerful taste:(

Wow, I would have never thought that it could get a person drunk....but I guess if they drank enough of it. I just use a small amount in baking!

Well, that is interesting. I do know that I made my own vanilla extract one using a vanilla bean and a small bottle of vodka so I guess it is possible. Never occurred to me to drink it straight right out of the bottle!!

That's crazy but rather than drunk she may have been totally mellowed out by the vanilla, LOL. I don't think I've ever wanted to be drunk that bad.
