Ethanol, good stuff, sometimes called "grain alcohol".


Or Vodka....

Check the LD50, and it's not so benign either, though I have booked 0.36
that was still more or less upright.

95% is as good as it gets with ethanol, because the 95/5 azeotrope prevents
further distillation. Anything beyond has to be dried another way, some of
which are nastier than the methanol.
