(note: this is my first post on bdd. i did all the required pre-post reading, but my reading comprehension is not always stellar so i might still fuck something up. don't hesitate to yell at me if that happens.)
so. i have severe mental health issues (for which i am heavily medicated and therapized but continue to suffer from regardless) and i find self-medicating with alcohol (sometimes in addition to prescription benzos) in times of duress to be immensely helpful in the short term. in the long term, well. i know i'm predisposed to addiction, and that i've already developed an emotional dependence on benzos and alcohol, but i'm not going to worry about that right now.
however, i'm underage and, needless to say, that unfortunate little fact makes getting alcohol difficult. i'm something of a recluse, so i don't have older friends to buy booze for me, and my mother caught me drinking vodka from her personal stash a while ago so that's off the table. she lets me have one (1) beer more or less daily, though, which is great, but it's not enough. i've been desperate enough to drink mouthwash on a number of occasions, but doing so fucks up my guts real good and as such i'd like to avoid it in the future because i dont need fucked up guts to worry about right now on top of everything else.
enter vanilla extract. it's alcoholic, it's readily available, and it's incredibly tempting. before i start guzzling it, though, i wanna know if it's dangerous in any way. i mean, i know it's probably not great for me-- i'm pretty stupid, but it doesn't take a genius to figure out that drinking shit not meant for drinking isn't a super good idea-- but if it's not going to make me go blind or brain dead or anything, i'm game.
so, yeah. advice? also, sorry this post is dumb and long. i'm bad at this.
 
It's not to bad I've done it many times before, though it usually gave me hangovers when I overdid it. Usually I don't get hungover with alcohol, but this was from drinking about a liter of this in one day. As long as you keep consumption moderate you should be ok. I'd recommend you stay away from the other extracts, while they are a lot stronger I think lemon was like 90% they are pretty nasty
 
It can be drank. There's nothing poisonous about Vanilla Extract other than the innate poisonous qualities of Ethanol. FDA requires true Vanilla Extract to be at least 35% Ethyl Alcohol by volume and in practice, this usually doesn't exceed 40% or, about the same strength as most common varieties of liquor (80 Proof, 40% a/b/v). It's always given me nasty hangovers and stomach upset in the past disproportionate to forms of actual "beverage" Alcohol.

It's definitely preferable to other more dangerous practices like drinking Alcoholic Mouthwash or Sterno, so by all means, have at it.
 
Just get some grape juice, yeast, and sugar and make your own booze. Did it in high school a lot. Forgot about it once and didn't vent it and came home to a splattered room

It will work just put it in some Coke or some coffee
 
I'd like to add to the revived thread, that a lot of extracts now have propylene glycol to keep the stuff in suspension, not alcohol.

Propylene glycol will do nothing for you.

The concentrated flavor WILL make you barf, and then stink for a week, so consider that.

Some extracts really can hurt you if you guzzle the whole thing. (I'm thinking almond-extract, basically benzaldehyde)

If they did have alcohol, you're talking less than a shot worth.

Just go find a friend with an older brother, or a hobo, it'll be good for those awkward social skills.
 
im sure your not this stupid but read the fucking ingredients, if it contains acohol it will list it
 
random fact 2 years ago a litre of vanilla would cost you 15 dollars now it runs about 65
 
Not always enough for some folks, if it doesn't get specific: "Contains sugar alcohols and denatured alcohol, but that does not include the kind of alcohol in the wine coolers you shoulda bought instead now you are blind lol."

How did I miss the whole first part of this thread? It was just @keeping and OP. (?)

ANYWAY: Yes, kilju, and it can be stronger than any wine you can buy. It's actually a lot of fun to play around with the specs. I encourage all responsible young people to do it with their parental permission, or whatever bluelight lawyers say.

I would leave out the grape juice, though, at least commercial juice, because it likely has preservatives that will prevent the yeast from living. The chlorine in my tap water doesn't seem to bother them much.

Just table sugar, tap water, and a satchet of baker's yeast is all you need. A little marmite can help the yeast keep up, additives later for flavor, etc.
A 2L bottle makes a good start, since you can undo the cap juuuust slightly to maintain positive pressure inside, without exploding.
 
ive never had to much luck with just sugar and water, my faveorite method is to take a couple grapefruit and mix with about 2 cups of sugar add yeast and 3 days later its drinkable, this is for 2 liters abourt 64oz

It contains the same amount of alcohol as vodkas wtf and the taste goes away with other things like Coke rootbeer(not so much) and coffee black or whatever and why would it be denatured if intended for consumption?

Really, that fast? I mean, if you waited a bit you'd have alcoholic Fresca.

I had a few sugar batches that failed; you want a nitrogen source and some extra micro-nutrients to really do it right without the yeast over-growing much, which is why it's such a fun hobby, trying to tweak it just right.

I just said, some vanilla extracts contain zero alcohol. Many are way below 40%. The stuff in extracts might not be denatured, but I was thinking of mouthwash and aftershaves, which are denatured, even though mouthwash is intended for "use".

And when they denature alcohol, these days it's not with methanol to kill you, just stuff like denatonium or some vomiting agent, but I like being hyberbolous in these threads, because they don't have to tell you what they put in it.

Finally, just get some Bailey's if you need something in your coffee. Or Vanilla Coke if they still make it.

Still 40% in a tiny bottle is equivalent to vodkas on the market.
 
Yeah, just like those little airplane shots.

Hey, I don't care, drink the stuff. Explain to mom why she can't make any cookies, cause you were too lazy to give a hobo $4 for a whole pint of Takaa vodka.

At least steal her sugar and a yeast packet, make your own hooch. Start your drinking career off a little more classy.
 
Vanilla extract is fine to drink but really discusting so have something to chase with otherwise you can easily puke. Definitely don't try to mix it with anything since that just makes more discusting stuff to drink.
 
i used to mix it with coke or root beer, while this doesnt concern people that can afford a normal drink lemon extract is what you should go for . while vanilla is at best 40 lemon is 9, 0 , i just wish the fucking price dridnt matter so much. fuck payinging 70 dollarsa for a ltre of shit
 
A liter of lemon oil is a lot of damn lemon oil. SPEAKING of which--that's actually an issue I've seen with extractions from san pedro and peyote. Lemon oil is great but too pricey, so they use orange oil. Interesting too, because orange peel already contains DMT.
