FYI, it's called fermentation, not distillation. Fermentation is the process of producing alcohol (or some other byproduct) from sugars, while distillation is the process of separating that alcohol from the rest of the drink (resulting in high alcohol content). Low alcohol drinks such as beer and wine are usually undistilled.

And yes, you can basically ferment anything with sugar, including bananas.

With the caveat that some fermentation processes will yield too much methanol and then the subsequent distillate will be too toxic to drink.
