The product of glycolysis is pyruvate. In alcoholic (ethanol) fermentation, pyruvate is converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide. The first step is decarboxylation, catalyzed by pyruvate decarboxylase: CH3COCOO- --> CH3CHO pyruvate --> acetaldehyde Then acetaldehyde is reduced to ethanol; this step is catalyzed by alcohol dehydrogenase and involves the oxidation of NADH+ + H+ to NADH: CH3CHO --> CH3CH2OH
Alcoholic Fermentation.
Non-alcoholic alcohol provides a beverage option for individuals who want to enjoy the taste and experience of traditional alcoholic drinks without the effects of alcohol. It can be particularly useful in social situations where a non-alcoholic option is needed for designated drivers, individuals avoiding alcohol, or those who prefer not to consume alcoholic beverages.
Alcoholic fermentation occurs in plants, fungi (such as yeasts), and bacteria but not in animals.
The making of wine is an an example of alcoholic fermentation. Yeast consumes the sugars of grapes, changing pyruvate into CO2 and ethanol (the alcohol of wine).
The chemical equation for alcoholic fermentation is: Pyruvate + NADH -> Ethanol + CO2 + NAD+

The summary equation is the formula equation. Sugar equals alcohol plus carbon dioxide. The formula is C6H12O6 which equals 2 CH3CH2OH plus 2 CO2.
The Durrans equation is used to list alcoholic beverages alcoholic beverages according to value for money. The equation consists of 3 components arranged as so: (Volume of drink*Abv)/price. Where Abv is the percentage of alcohol. The higher the number, the better value. The equation works for any alcoholic beverage as long as the input units are the same. For example a 2l bottle of 5.3% cider costing £3.50 would be (2*5.3)/3.5=3.02. This is better value than a 0.44l 4% beer costing £1.10 as the Durrans equation gives a value of 1.6. The equations main limitation is that it does not take into account the consumers tastes. However if taste is not factored in, as it would be for those who'll drink anything just to get drunk, the equation can be a very useful tool to save the consumer money.
NADH + PYRUVATE (pyruvic acid) = ETHANOL(alcohol) + Co2 + NAD+
alcoholic and non alcoholic
Occurs in plants or yeast Sugar (glucose or fructose) → alcohol (ethanol) + carbon dioxide C6H12O6 → 2 CH3CH2OH + 2 CO2 .
The two types of fermentation are alcoholic fermentation, which produces alcohol and carbon dioxide, and lactic acid fermentation, which produces lactic acid. The equation for alcoholic fermentation is: Glucose → 2 ethanol + 2 carbon dioxide The equation for lactic acid fermentation is: Glucose → 2 lactic acid.
Tea isn't alcoholic.

He is not an alcoholic, but he does drink.
