 absolute ethanol food grade is 194 proof or 97%
nasty stuff, where did you find 200 proof?
 almost impossible for food grade to be 100, reflux 97% with sulfuric
 acid
 with calcium oxide for hours and it is not 100%
 2 oz drunk in an hour will kill
extremely flammable - be very very careful

Everclear is 195 proof and cost me US$10 for a bottle at the Champions
Liqour store On FM 1960 in Houston Texas last year. Its probably Cheaper
and safer to buy a bottle of Pure Cap (tm)- no affiliation..
I have done the Alcohol extraction method , and was not impressed with
the outcome, As Jim Cambell says ":Don't do this" ..
Evaporate the Alcohol rather than boiling it....
