Is there such thing as 200 proof alcohol?

How do you make 200 proof ethanol?
To produce pure, 200 proof alcohol, we use a molecular sieve, so extract the last 5% of the water. The pure alcohol is transferred to storage tanks and ready to be shipped. After the alcohol is removed, the water and corn solids is called stillage.
What is the difference between FCC and USP?
FCC Grade: Chemicals that are FCC grade meet standards outlined in the Food Chemicals Codex. The FCC was acquired by the USP, but still uses the Codex for food chemical standards. Pharmaceutical Grade (USP): Chemicals with a Pharmaceutical Grade meet or exceed requirements of a national pharmacopeia.
Can you drink USP grade ethanol?

There are two main reasons one of which is technical and the other is so-called administrative… Technical is, you cannot have %100 grade ethanol to use in the lab.
