alcohol is made up of ethanol by fermentation though it is volatile in nature but is not a gas..
Alcohol, in its various forms, can be man-made or naturally occurring. Natural alcohol occurs in small quantities in certain fruits and vegetables as a result of fermentation by yeast or bacteria. Man-made alcohol is produced through processes like distillation and fermentation of crops like grains or sugarcane. The majority of alcohol consumed by humans is produced through man-made methods.
1.) Alcoholic fermentation 2.) Lactic acid fermentation
Alcohol is produced by a specific type of respiration which is called alcohol fermentation, a form of anaerobic respiration. Fermentation is caused by the lack of oxygen (anaerobic) in the environment and an important by-product is ethanol (alcohol found in wine and beer).
lactic acid fermentation, is an enzyme converts pyruvic acid made during glycolysis into another three-carbon compound. Alcoholic fermentation, is to convert pyruvic acid into ethyl alcohol.

Ethanol is made by the fermentation of sugar using yeast.
It is called "fermentation" to be precise "aerobic fermentation".
All alcoholic drinks are the results of fermentation. Some of these results are used as is, such as beer, wine and mead. All others are created by distilling the results of the fermentation and aging or mixing it with other items.
Vodka is a neutral spirit (i.e. without distinctive flavour) with an alcohol content of around 40%. Alcohol is created by fermentation - the anaerobic respiration sugar by yeast. Sugar and alcohol in sufficient quantities both inhibit yeast so there are practical limits on the alcohol contentration that can be produced by fermentation alone. You're doing very well if you can even get to 20% and what you produce will not be flavourless. Fermentation is a biological process and a large number of other chemicals as well as alcohol. Distillation extracts the alcohol out and leaves the other chemicals behind.

Your question doesn't make sense, as alcohol is a compound which is made through fermentation. It is not 'used' in vodka, the alcohol is created during the fermentation process involved in making the Vodka. Vodka is made by fermenting and distilling potato juice.
1.) Alcoholic fermentation 2.) Lactic acid fermentation
Spirits such as vodka, whiskey, scotch, tequila, gin, rum, arrack, grappa, are all produced by distilling fermented liquid. Alcohol is produced by fermentation. Distillation separates the ethanol (ethyl alcohol) from the water and other substances in the fermented liquid.
All fermentation produces ATP and 2 pyruvate. Alcohol fermentation will also produce Acetaldehyde and thereby Ethanol. Lactic acid fermentation produces Lactate. In the process of fermentation NADH (aka reduced NAD) is also produced.
