re:"Do you know if alcohol ever went through the FDA approval process?"

It probably did not. I don't know exactly how much responsibility the FDA has over alcohol - where FDA responsibility begins, and the ATF ends.

No, it didn't. Neither did tobacco. The FDA was specifically deprived of jurisdiction over them at the time of its founding.
