From what I've looked up, you can't OD on mint extract. Also, the alcohol in the mint extract is the same as alcohol for consumption, just a lot more powerful. I've have experience with tinctures before and usually people try to get the purest alcohol possible for that since it aids in distilling the herb while evaporating quickly during cooking.

That aside, drinking extracts is unwise: they will likely get you drunk very fast because they're a close to pure alcohol as you can get. Due to that, it can be very easy to get sick off of it. I would definitely recommend drinking normal alcohol over that nasty stuff.
