I'm familiar with this post-mortem. It turns out a LOT of old NTSB reports
are in error because they list alcohol as a causal factor in crashes where
the body was not recovered for several days.

Pre-mortem, while it is certainly the case that lots of bacteria do the job
of turning (blood) sugar into alcohol, I am not aware of any that do so in
a living body in any great quantity.
