Woman Charged with DUI -for Drinking Vanilla!

Kelly Moss of Germantown, Tennessee was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving when police officers found her parked on the sidewalk and slumped over the steering wheel. The 48-year-old was unable to stand and could not complete a field sobriety test. What had she been drinking?
An officer noticed partially empty bottles of vanilla extract, labeled as 35 percent alcohol by volume, and Diet Coke in the front seat, and they said they smelled a strong vanilla odor on the woman's breath. A grocery receipt found in the vehicle listed two 8-ounce bottles of vanilla extract, purchased Wednesday.

This is Moss' third DUI arrest. http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2010/jul/01/police-germantown-woman-drove-drunk-vanilla/

Vanilla extract is more common, isn't it? I don't believe that has any alcohol in it. I should think the real thing would be too expensive to drink like that.

I saw an old man on the bus drinking cheap aftershave. Not exactly neat, but I did tell people about it.

So if i mixed vodka and milk. i would get drunk on milk? according to the logic of the poster.
Im not that educated but was it really the vanilla and not the alcohol innit that made her drunk?
I do know of atleast one magazine that would run this kind of stories, but they also feature stories about
batboy ufo's and other fantastic happenings. i guess its neat.
But hey Cellania ill just move on to the next post
maybe it really contains something neat. must be cool to think you can win them all.

I watched that episode set. Good grief, I'm afraid of turning into this woman. Either way, there were some fabulous tips on how to fix such messes.

I could not believe this woman went on national TV showing the world her mess. Wish they would check back with her in a year to see if she learned her lesson.

Too bad it won't last. Hoarders are mental and without ongoing treatment will soon relapse back to their "normal" practices.

I'm more amazed that a ginormous rummage sale (including 3000 pairs of shoes and 3000 handbags) only earned them $13000 USD. I'm thinking Porky and her gang skimmed the cream off of that sale.

The team actually did involve a psychiatrist, and they stressed the same thing (that mental help is necessary). they showed several clips with Sharyn and Marvin talking to the guy. Whether the continue with it after the show or not . . . who knows?

i agree that they should follow up, too, but i think in like six months. the sooner they check in, the less mess they'll have to clean up.

These people need a house fire. No kidding. My parents just lost everything in one of the San Diego fires and now feel liberated from their horde or stuff. Being over-insured didn't hurt either.

Obsessive hoarding is a form of obsessive compulsive disorder, which is a form of anxiety disorder.
One of my inlaws and his wife have it. It is unbelievable the amount of crap they have. And every weekend they go garage saleing for more!

To think if these people where to 'horde' their money into a high yield savings account every time they felt the need to buy something...$13K would be chicken scratch.

It wasn't "GARBAGE" (as you use in your title). It was new items that she had shopped for but never used. A small portion of it had been damaged over time.

Actually, they did remove 75 tons of trash from the home, in addition to the thousands of pounds of sellable items that went to the rummage sale. According to the information on the site, the couple kept less than 5% of the original "stuff" in the house.

{ There is an amazing lack of hoarders in countries like Haiti and Sierra Leone….only in America }

There are hoarders everywhere in the world not just the US.
