Fermentation converts carbohydrates (such as sugars) into carbon dioxide and water, and also produces a modest amount of energy (as ATP).
The metabolic function of fermentation is to oxidize NADH to NAD+ so that glycolysis can continue in the absense of oxygen. :)
Pyruvate is a key metabolite important for the cells, that's why it can't go out of them. They make it something else, so they can "dispose" it
to make beer.

Anaerobic fermentation
There are two types of fermentation: Alcoholic Fermentation and Lactic Acid Fermentation. Both types have the same reactants: Pyruvic acid and NADH, both of which are products of glycolysis. In alcoholic fermentation, the major products are alcohol and carbon dioxide. In lactic acid fermentation, the major product is lactic acid. For both types of fermentation, there is a side product: NAD+ which is recycled back to glycolysis so that small amounts of ATP can continue to be produced in the absence of oxygen.
at 14-15% the yeast organism(and in turn the enzyme which controls fermentation) is killed by alcohol which is a poison. So it is impossible to produce a liquid with more than 14-15% alcohol content by fermentation of yeast
Regeneration of NAD+

to generate from , so glycolysis can continue

Anaerobic fermentation
Alcoholic fermentation involves the actions of enzymes. Enzymes function properly within their optimal temperature range. An increase or decrease in temperature can denature the enzymes, causing them not to function.
Fermentation is an ancient way of preserving food and also has played a major role in antibiotics and biotechnology.
