Alcohol is produced through the fermentation of sugars by yeast. It is found in beers, wines, and spirits and causes drunkenness. Fermented alcohols like beer are made by fermenting sugars like those found in grains, fruits, or honey. Distilled alcohols like vodka or rum involve an additional distillation process applied to fermented substances like grains or sugarcane. Common fermented alcohols include beers, wines, ciders, and sake while popular distilled types are vodka, gin, rum, whiskey, and tequila.
