Get a supply of 100% methanol.

Task complete.

Don't drink it; it's poisonous.

This is real easy if you're located in the Appalachian backwoods. Wrong choice of alcohol, though.

Why don't you do a Google search on "drying methanol," like the rest of us would do? This will bring up exactly what you need to know in just a few seconds. Is that so difficult?

I didn't see this method mentioned via google, but it might work:

If you have methanol with water in it, try placing it in a glass or stainless steel container surrounded by dry ice. The water should freeze/crystallize and you could then remove the ice, leaving 'pure' methanol.

Oh, how about passing wet methanol through a bed of calcium oxide in the absence of atmospheric oxygen?
