Pyruvate is converted to lactate by the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase. The standard free energy change of the reaction is -25.1 kJ/mol. Yeast and other anaerobic microorganisms convert glucose to ethanol and CO2 rather than pyruvate. ... Acetaldehyde is then converted to ethanol by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase
Ethanol is metabolized into acetyl-CoA, which cannot be converted into lactate, pyruvate, or other gluconeogenic substrates. In organisms that have the glyoxylate pathway, a modifcation of the Krebs cycle permits net conversion of two acetyl-CoA into malic acid.

hope this will be necessary for u
