It's not. Absolute alcohol is 200-proof, and is readily available, if you have the license for it. In the 1970s, I ordered 25 gallons of it for the lab I worked in, and National Distillers gave it to for free, to save the paperwork; in truckload quantities, it was something like 90c per gallon.

At 1 atmosphere, fractional distillation can produce alcohol of 95.6% which would be 191.2 proof. At lower pressure, absolute alcohol can be produced.

What is London proof strength and what will be the proof strength of 100 percent Alcohol?

London proof strength is a measure of the alcohol content in spirits, defined as twice the percentage of alcohol by volume (ABV). Therefore, 100 percent alcohol would have a proof strength of 200 proof, as it contains the maximum concentration of alcohol possible. This system is primarily used in the United Kingdom and is less common in other regions, where different proof systems may apply.
