Fermenting fruits gives alcohol, because of specific bacteria… In your guts, it’s just rotting with other bacteria. Not the same end product unfortunately.

There are some animals who get drunk by eating fermented fruit, fallen from trees, but again, these fruits are already fermented before ingestion.
