It seems imitation almond extract usually contains: water, alcohol (25%-40%), and a flavoring bitter almonds. A drop can kill someone with a nut allergy. Also, bitter almonds are poisinous in a small quantity due to the cyanide. Although all almonds and other seeds from similar plants (pits of peaches and apricots for example) contain cyanide, the extract has high concentrations of it. It is ok to use a few drops in a batch of dough, but if you are taking sips of this because you want a little buzz, you are in big trouble.

To clarify, NATURAL almond extract contains oil of bitter almonds and enough cyanide to harm you if you drink a lot of it. IMITATION almond extract contains benzaldehyde, the compound in almonds that gives it it's favor and scent, without the cyanide. I like almond-flavored water, and I use imitation almond extract just to be safe.
