Wait, are death sticks alcohol?

I was just curious as they could have something that is essentially the same in narrative function, but not technically alcohol since it’s a completely different world from ours. The bar could serve “booze” but it’s not the byproduct of yeast fermentation.

I think they’ve found alcohol in some nebulae though so I guess the argument could be made that it’s something that probably exists throughout the universe whether there’s yeast to make it or not…
