For another thing, you cannot get a 100% alcohol by distillation, because alcohol and water form an azeotrope at about 91% ethanol molecular percentage or 96% by volume. In other words, at that point the ethanol/water mixture acts like a single compound, so if you distill it, you will get the same percentage you start with.

An atomistic explanation of the ethanol–water azeotrope

Ethanol and water form an azeotropic mixture at an ethanol molecular percentage of ∼91% (∼96% by volume), which prohibits ethanol from being further purified via distillation. Aqueous solutions at different concentrations in ethanol have been studied both experimentally and theoretically. We...
