Not sure if finding a suitable stock of grain on the wild would be so easier than finding some random berries or other fruits suitable for alcoholic fermentation.

Not as tasty however in the first pass through the still. Fuel can also use the methanol first pass instead of discarding it and the tails collection of assorted flammable esters.
Some mistakes while doing an alcoholic fermentation can lead to the methanol being produced instead of ethanol.

Shouldn't drink that though.
If I were considering it as an attempt to make an alcoholic beverage, I'm sure I would do it with proper care to prevent methanol contamination, which wouldn't bother me to the same extent in case of usage as a motor fuel during an emergency.
