You can't get 200 proof that is drinkable. Ethanol forms an azeotrope with water that boils off at 78.15 degrees. Pure ethanol has a boiling point of 78.3 degrees C. The azeotrope is 95% ethanol/5% water...190 proof. To get 100% ethanol, you add benzene to carry off the water, but that makes it unfit for consumption.

Sounds like what ya put in the car's radiator before the snow starts flyin'.
