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.

This kind of thing (auto-fermentation) made the rounds as an email
'study' at the University of Michigan hospital...
It is pretty much drivel when it comes to the living organism as listed
