Alcohol fermentation is the formation of alcohol from sugar. Yeast, when under anaerobic conditions, convert glucose to pyruvic acid via the glycolysis pathways, then go one step farther, converting pyruvic acid into ethanol, a C-2 compound.
Alcohol and aspirin are absorbed through the stomach lining into the blood.
alcoholic fermentation A form of anaerobic respiration in which sugar is degraded to alcohol and CO2 and energy is released.

We also use them to make alcohol. It's a whole process called fermentation. Sugars are broken down in an environment without oxygen. It's called anaerobic fermentation. And voila, alcohol.
