Alcohol fermentation is natures way of producing alcohol. By itself, nature cannot produce alcohol stronger than 14 percent. Fermentation is a natural process that occurs when yeast combines with the sugar in plants and produces an enzyme that then produces alcohol. So it is possible to say that alcohol is yeast excrement.

This yeast can be gotten naturally from the air, like Stone Age people got it, or purchased in a store the way we get it. Of course the higher the sugar content of the plant the easier it is to produce alcohol. We have many fruit and grain alcohols because of their starch or sugar content.

Most historians believe alcohol was discovered by accident. That somebody in the Stone Age left berries or grain in a stone pot and it combined with yeast from the air and water and they had alcohol. No one seems to know if wine or beer came first but it didn't take long for it to be available everywhere. People loved it.
