100% pure ethanol.

@CountScrofula You cannot get 100% pure ethanol. 99.7% is about the closest you can get in practical matters.

@MethDozer Fair enough. I guess my point is that the strongest alcoholic drink is as close to pure alcohol as you can get. Commercially available in a liquor store, I guess Everclear which can be at 190 proof.

@CountScrofula Yeah, distillation can only produce an azeotrope of 95%. After that it takes a large amount of energy and equipment to get it to 99%.

@MethDozer @CountScrofula so is there no such thing as 100 percent alcoholic drink
MethDozer · M
@Thelonewolf1993 Technically no, but in common parlance yes.
CountScrofula · 41-45, M
@Thelonewolf1993 Correct. But it's not like people have difficult getting drunk.
