Not quite. Denatured alcohol is ethyl alcohol that contains methyl alcohol or
isopropyl alcohol which make the mixture unfit for drinking. Pure ethyl
alcohol is drinkable (it's the kick in your booze), but probably contains at
least 5% water because of its nature to absorb water. Absolute ethyl or
isopropyl alcohol is at least 99% pure. Unless securely sealed, the alcohols
will absorb water winding up at about 95+% alcohol. 99% isopropyl alcohol is
available from https://artnaturals.com/

Everclear (sometimes called Georgia Moon) may run as high as 95% (190 proof),
but you need to be careful with that stuff because it will stomp you and you
don't dare smoke for 48 hours.

Here in the USA it is called 'denatured alchohol'. Cheapest to buy in
the paint department of the big-box stores. Or, at the liquor store as
"Everclear" hi hi
