Alcohol has a very low boiling point, compared to water, therefore it evaporates during the backing process. The wonderfull smell that is associated with bread baking is a mixture of evaporated alcohol, and ozone (another byproduct of bread baking).

When bread dough rises, a little alcohol is produced, but only a very little. Some of it is driven off by the heat of baking, and some remains in the bread. Since alcohol evaporates at a lower temperature than water, the bread loses the alcohol very fast. If you break bread that is still hot from the oven, sometimes you can smell the alcohol, but for practical purposes there isn't any left by the time bread is eaten.

Why is yeast required?

Yeast convert sugar into carbon dioxide (and ethyl alcohol). The carbon dioxide results in trapped bubbles of gas, which makes the bread rise, giving it a light, fluffy texture. During baking the alcohol evaporates. Bread baked without yeast (unleavened bread) tends to be flat and hard or coarse.
