Distilled Ethanol Safe To Drink?

[rpandrew]

So I've read lab grade ethanol is dangerous, and so is alcohol made at home that is distilled because of methanol.

My question is, if I used Vodka from the LCBO and distilled it at a temperature around ~78C, would 1-2 shots be safe to drink?

I also understand that there is small amounts of methanol that is under the legal limit in commercial hard liquors. So I would let the first few drops just run off.

I understand there is an azeotrope, but I'm not looking for 100% alcohol. I'm just trying to make a higher proof alcohol at home for fun.

This this potentially dangerous and we can't condone this type of experimentation.

Just go out and buy some Everclear and be done with it.
