Fermentation is natural and common.

Your liver can process fermented products because yeast is everywhere -- including in your gut, and will ferment carbs in tiny quantities as they move through you; your body is processing tiny quantities of alcohol all the time.

Plenty of examples of bears, pigs, birds, etc. getting drunk off of fruit that's gone a little off.
