That is a lot of vanilla extract. Yuck! There are a LOT better ways to get smashed.
I love vanilla, but gaaacckk. I've heard of alcoholics using vanilla, mouthwash, all sorts of things including methanol. Why? I mean, vanilla costs more than vodka, so why bother?

Officials peered inside the man’s bags and found hundreds of containers filled with slimy, writhing objects—5,000 live leeches. It was October 17, 2018, and the trusty beagle had helped authorities snag Canada’s first known leech “smuggler.” (Authorities are calling him an alleged illegal leech importer, rather than a smuggler, because he wasn’t necessarily purposefully hiding the contraband.)

One of the first casualties of statism is the Law of Causality.
I used to laugh at management when they'd set a budget for the year calling for 15% (or similarly absurd) sales growth. Without a plan, resources, etc, such demands were as ridiculous as demanding 60kg/day of poop per capita. But they couldn't understand that and they'd get a genuinely pained look on their face and want to know why I wasn't happy to buy into their plan. At least Kim Jong-Un doesn't have to deal with turds in his punchbowl like me.

I bitched when I was told that the bonus for my engineering work was going to depend on how well our sales force did its job. As if one had anything to do with the other.

So the incentive was to quit designing and get out there to support sales? There are times when that could make sense, but usually not.
