Not if its real vanilla. True vanillia extract is just the result of vanilla beans soaked in alcohol, usually Bourbon or rum, until the flavor of the vanilla is thouroghly encorporated, then the solid matter is removed. So drinking vanilla extract is similar to drinking very strongly flavored bourbon. Be warned, it will not be sweet, and often the price of the vanilla is a direct correlation to the quality of the beans and alcohol. Artificial vanilla, on the other hand, is a combination of chemicals, usually man made and synthesized to taste like vanilla. Personally I wouldn't touch the stuff, not even for baking.
