The difference between alcohol fermentation and lactic acid fermentation is lactic acid fermentation produces lactate, and alcohol fermentation produces ethanol.

Lactic acid fermentation vs alcohol fermentation

Fermentation is the metabolic process in which sugars are broken down anaerobically. This condition means in absence of oxygen.

The fermentation pathway is still related with cellular respiration process but there is an extra reaction after Glycolysis. It happens as you are making bread, beer, and doing exercise too hard. 

There are 2 types of fermentation, lactic acid fermentation and alcohol fermentation.

  1. Lactic acid fermentation. In lactic acid fermentation, NADH transfer the electrons directly into pyruvate and produce the lactate as a byproduct. For instance, the process of making yoghurt undergo this kind of fermentation. Also, the muscle cells when you’re exercising too hard. 
  2. Alcohol fermentation. In alcohol fermentation, NADH donate the electrons into pyruvate derivatives (acetaldehyde) and generating ethanol (alcohol). It needs two process from pyruvate to ethanol. 

Both of names, origin from the byproduct produced.
