First of all, ether and alcohol are two separate things. I think you are asking how to make ETHYL alcohol.
Most alcohol production is a by-product of natural processes, such as the growth of yeast in a barley/hops mix. You take a large vat of this mix and introduce yeast. The yeast grow and multiply, producing alcohol in the process. You then strain out the mush and are left with a delicious concoction of alcohol and flavored water. If you want it stronger, you distill it.
But why you would want to make Ethyl alcohol instead of delicious, nutritious beer, I have no idea....
