Alcohol occurs naturally from yeast converting sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide.
Endogenous ethanol production is the term for alcohol produced naturally within the body. Depending on the diet and other factors, up to about one ounce of pure alcohol can be produced within the body each day. That amount equals almost two standard drinks of beer, wine or liquor.
There is an unusual condition involving an abnormal growth of yeast in the gut that can result in large quantities of alcohol being produced and absorbed by the body. This is most common in people who have been on long-term antibiotics or immunosuppressant drugs. Other than that, any quantities produced would not be large, and they would still technically be produced by the gut's biota, not by the body itself.
