OK, I meant to say starch. One chemical bond twisted, but a big difference

Alcohol is not exactly made from sugar in the US. A corn mash is cooked, where malt (germinating wheat or corn) converts starch into sugar, which the yeast then make into ethanol. Same with beer, wiskey, gin, and many other starch-based drinks. Rum, of course, is from cane and does not require this step.
Cellulose is for paper. Cellulistic ethanol is the holy grail in the US, but is not commercially practical at this time. However, some alcohol is made that way.
