Woman Gets Hammered On Vanilla, Gets DUI, Too

So you know that other story I posted about sweets leading to second dates? Apparently, this lady thought chugging liquid sweetener would lead to marriage! Or she wasn't thinking that at all and is just a problematic, raging alcoholic... Yeah, that's probably it.

Carolyn Kesel of Seneca Falls, New York, either had a serious drinking problem or sucks at self control. I'm going with "drinking problem" considering it's the only way anyone could talk themselves into chugging two bottles of vanilla extract. She went to her local Walmart, downed both bottles, and did what any level-headed person would do upon getting a vanilla bean-induced buzz would do: SHE DROVE AROUND. She got so wasted she couldn't figure out how to get out of the parking lot! Police showed after some concerned calls, pulled her over (is it still called that when it's in a parking lot?) and tested her BAC at a .26! That's three times the legal limit! See, Vanilla extract is 41% alcohol, meaning it's 82-proof! But for being a drunk desperate for her next sip, she's new to the extract game. Peppermint and orange extract contain even more booze, measuring in at 180 proof!

So yeah kids, if you wanna get a minor consumption, or be like Carolyn and get a DUI and get your license suspended or revoked completely, get your extract on! That's of course, sarcasm. Please don't be that stupid. But do check out the rest of the story here (13WHAM.com)
