If you could also provide a link to a scientific article about it, it would be great.

It is natural, even the "man-made" stuff.
There are several site below which should be useful, including one very sinple experiment.

Alcohol is made by the process of fermentation. This happens in nature. Alcohol is synthesized by copying what happens in nature.

One example is the huge silos on farms which store corn for animal feed. The weight of the corn crushes the corn at the bottom, moisture and humidity begin the fermenting process which leaks alcohol out of the bottom.
The cows love it and get drunk big time.

All of the alcohol that we drink is made using 'nature.' That is, the alcohol that we drink is the direct result of fermentation by microorganisms that are found in nature. For example, yeast is used in production of beer. As you probably know, yeast exists in 'nature', but by capturing it, feeding it, and depriving it of oxygen, we can produce alcohol using the yeast!

Alcohol occurs naturally but it is also created by man.

Over ripe fruit is a good source of alcohol. Our primate cousins were getting pissed on it long before the ancient Egyptians started brewing beer and wine.

Are you kidding? Seriously, what do you think Beer is? If you ferment grains... or any fruit... well, anything vegetable... you get alcohol. Heck, your breath produces alcohols too.

alcohol is being made by nature...rotten fruits usually contain alcohol and animals sometimes even enjoy eating them and get "drunk"
