Getting drunk off of echinacea extract?

So i found a bottle of echinacea extract and i'm wondering if it'll be ok to drink. It contains "not more than 50%" alcohol content so im assuming its close to 50% which is a fair amount. I dont mind the taste but basically want to know if there will be side effects from the echinacea. I tried to google my question about having to much echinacea but there doesnt seem to be many results from it. I am about to assume i'll be alright because people can drink vanilla extract. Thanks for your input and i know i seem desperate/dumb8)
 
You should be just fine. I have a friend who, while drunk, accidentally ate a fistfull of echinacea powder thinking it was the kratom I had laid out for him. He experienced no negative side effects - besides the shits from consuming so much cellulose. I wouldn't make it a regular thing, but if you're desperate to get fucked up, I say go for it.
 
I wouldn't recommend it, not knowing exactly what's in there and how it could affect you. I once drank some vanilla extract and after awhile, started projectile vomiting. So yeah, you can drink it I guess, but again, I can't see how it's a terribly good idea.

Granted, my experience was with vanilla extract, I'd still be leery about telling someone they should drink any of that sort of thing though.

Not for nothing, but I don't think you should assume anything's inherently ok because some people do it. I've known people who drank (notice I used the past tense there?) isopropyl alcohol. That doesn't make it a good idea either.
