Low Intellegence Alchemist (mutagens, and forumlae)

[GMiller939]

If my alchemist has less then 10 intelligence, can he drink his extracts? It seems to suggest he cannot, but since his allies can (I have infusion) he should be able to as well?

Can an alchemist with less then 10 intelligence create mutagens?

To answer the obvious question, I am looking at the ragechemist alternate class. Ragechemists risk taking intelligence damage every time they are hit while under a str mutagen.

This is an incredibly debilitating condition, and I wonder whether or not it is worth it. I had to take 3 feats just to get my will save to an acceptable level, but still I am more worried about dying from minor wounds due to intelligence damage then I am from actual damage.

An alchemist can prepare an extract of any formula he knows. To learn or use an extract, an alchemist must have an Intelligence score equal to at least 10 + the extract's level.

It sounds like you can't even drink a previously prepared extract if you don't have enough Int. But the description of the Mutagen has no such restriction.
