Yep...Juniper's for gin, guave for tequila, potatoes for vodka, barley and hops for beer, and corn for whiskey.

Short answer: Yes. Actually, all alcohol is made using grains, vegetables, and fruits that have fermented (fancy word for rotted). Rotten potatoes produce vodka, which has been made for millenia, especially in slavic countries like Russia.
In the US, fermented produce has been used to create apple cider, moonshine (corn whiskey), and beer.

The process for brewing beer and making vodka or whiskey is the same for the most part. Beer is fermented from the wort and vodkas and whiskey are distilled from the wort. So the answer is yes, and quite easily. Enjoy!

Yes. Its called Vodka. And if they are brewing it in a hand made still - its called moonshine. Sake is made from fermented rice, Whisky is made from fermented wheat, Tequila is made from fermented agave cactus. All hard liquor is made from some sort of fermented fruit or vegetable.

Yes. It allows for higher compression ratios than gasoline and this gave the Bootleggers during prohibition an edge against police cars. Higher compression ratios = more horsepower.
