My bio-chemist neighbor (Ph.D. and former full professor) tells me it's now
possible  to  obtain 100% pure ethanol.  The stuff is difficult to make and
very expensive, but it does exist.  She does _not_ recommend drinking it.

Though not available in all states, Everclear is about 95%  grain  alcohol.
Usefull for making punch for parties, but _warn_ your guests!
