that sounds like those weed vaporizers (except with alcohol.)

Tobacco ;)

ok, i've never done this but i think it would work, heat some alcoholic beverage and have some metal plate with ice cubes above it, and the vapor that condenses on it should be all most pure alcohol, but it will evaporate at a low temp so you have to keep it cold

You can get 95% alcohol this way but no purer.

ethenol is 200%
There's no way that you would be able to get 95% alcohol without precise temperature control. 95% is hard to get even with a decent still and a single pass.

BTW, Proof is twice the percentage. 100% alcohol = 200 proof.

Traditional vodka is 80 proof, 40% alcohol.

I've worked with 200 proof ethyl alcohol in the labs at room temperature. It is possible to achieve, but not commonly used.

Benzene is added to break the azeotrope and allow it to be distilled past 95%. It isn't safe to drink though. :D

Why would you do this. This is for losers that drink just to get drunk.

You don't drink to get drunk/buzzed? Sure sure, keep telling yourself that.


And you keep telling yourself that drinkint to forget your troubles is healthy.
