Because it DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY... the baking of the bread kills the yeast and burns off any alcohol in the batter.

There -is- some alcohol produced by the yeast fermentation in bread, but very little, and it is evaporated off as the bread bakes. You could use the same flour and the same yeast to make a sort of beer, but you'd need a lot more water, to make a liquid, not a dough. And it would take a lot longer, several days at least. And it would smell and taste TERRIBLE!

When the bread was rising the yeast was fermenting. The fermenting ended when it hit the oven. No alcohol, no getting 'drunk'

Alcohol is the "waste" product of ANAEROBIC fermentation.
Anaerobic means, without oxygen.
Bread has plenty of oxygen to allow fermentation without alcohol production.
In the case of oxygen being used up by excessive fermentation (rising) the alcohol evaporates at 173 degrees F in the oven.

Alcohol evaporates when heated. There is no alcohol in bread because it evaporates during the baking process.
HOWEVER...bread will ferment if left in the bag too long.

The yeast in breads is fresh, not fermented.

Proving dough would not produce a lot alcohol via fact the technique is cardio. Yeast particularly produces alcohol while it respires anaerobically. yet even then baking removes any hint of alcohol - it basically evaporates away.

Now I finally know why I'm addicted to bread.

its a waste product so it is not a part of the final product

Because it's NOT fermented.
