Cuz it wouldn't be ethical
Lactic Acid Fermentation and Alcoholic Fermentation.
During fermentation, glucose is incompletely broken down to form either ethanol (alcohol fermentation) or lactic acid (lactic acid fermentation) in order to regenerate NAD+ for glycolysis to continue in the absence of oxygen.
Pyruvate+NADH--->Lactate + NAD+ +ATP
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.
In lactic acid fermentation, pyruvate from glycolysis is converted to lactic acid by the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase. This process regenerates NAD+ from NADH, allowing glycolysis to continue in the absence of oxygen. It is a common pathway in muscle cells during strenuous exercise when oxygen is limited.
Lactic Acid Fermentation and Alcoholic Fermentation.
Both of the reactions are under anaerobic conditions (the absence of oxygen is required in both cases). In the presence of oxygen, glycolysis takes place.
Glycolysis and Fermentation (Lactic Acid and Alcoholic).
Fermentation and glycolysis are both metabolic processes that break down glucose to produce energy. The key difference is that glycolysis occurs in the absence of oxygen, while fermentation occurs in the presence of oxygen. In glycolysis, glucose is broken down into pyruvate, which can then be further metabolized in the presence of oxygen. In fermentation, pyruvate is converted into different end products, such as lactic acid or ethanol, to regenerate NAD for continued glycolysis in the absence of oxygen.

Lactic acid fermentation occurs when pyruvate, the end product of glycolysis, is converted to lactic acid in the absence of oxygen. This process helps regenerate NAD+ so that glycolysis can continue in the absence of oxygen, allowing for ATP production to continue. Lactic acid fermentation is a common mechanism in muscle cells during strenuous exercise when oxygen supply is limited.
Pyruvate+NADH--->Lactate + NAD+ +ATP
Lactic acid fermentation takes place in the cytoplasm of cells. It is an anaerobic process that converts pyruvate into lactic acid to regenerate NAD+ for glycolysis to continue in the absence of oxygen.
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.

The chemical equation for alcoholic fermentation is: Pyruvate + NADH -> Ethanol + CO2 + NAD+
