Assuming that this question is referring to fermentation using yeast to convert sugars to alcohol and carbon dioxide. The reaction will stop after a certain percentage of alcohol is produced. This percentage is usually 10-13 percent. The yeast cannot survive in this environment and will die. So alcohol and carbon dioxide production will cease.
