| ethanol is sugar. you are fucked.
Ethanol production whether whiskey, vodka or as a gasoline additive utilizes embryo plants (almost always barley) to digest other starch from corn, potatoes, rice, etc. The resulting sugar is fermented by yeast to ethanol and carbon dioxide--hence the fizz in beer and champagne.
Ethanol is one of the oldest recreational drugs. In common usage, it is often referred to simply as alcohol or spirits.
The fermentation of sugar into ethanol is one of the earliest organic reactions employed by humanity. The intoxicating effects of ethanol consumption have been known since ancient times.
