On yeast.

You can tell the summer has started, because this one was via MSN...

Cez: Marmite is yeast. Bread is yeast. Beer is yeast. Penicillin is yeast. Yeast is good.
James Frost (Badminton James): No Beer is not yeast.
Cez: Isn't it?
James Frost: Sorry to have to tell you that, but sugar and beer don't make more alcohol
Cez: Penicillin isn't yeast either, you were meant to spot that one!
James Frost: Was of lesser importance
Cez: okay, beer is MADE with yeast.
Cez: Pedant.

To be fair some Weissbiers are sold still fermenting in the bottle.

Loads of Real Ales are too.
And some Penicillium spp. have yeast-like forms.

Shut up.

Anyway, this was a beautiful quotation.

So if you added sugar to those, would you get more alcohol?

Sounds worth a try, and even if it doesn't work it might make the beer more palatable.
