Fermentation is a metabolic process that convert carbohydrates, such as starch or sugar, into lactic acid or alcohol in the absence of oxygen. Compared to aerobic respiration, fermentation produces much less ATP. Only a net of 2 ATP is produced during fermentation.

Explanation:
The alcohol fermentation and aerobic respiration both involve the glycolysis reaction. The alcohol formation is initiated due to anaerobic conditions without oxygen, this reaction involves the conversion of sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide by the action of yeast.
The aerobic respiration involves the reaction of oxygen which helps in the formation of glucose in mitochondria. Both the process produces the ATP which is two ATP in alcohol formation in alcohol fermentation and 32 ATP in aerobic respiration.
