Alcohol is a solution if you dilute it a little.

100% distillation of alcohol is impossible, so I guess it's always a solution. But technically it's not a solution. Spirits are a solution.

Distillation is not the only way to remove water. You can distill ethanol up to 95.5% and then remove the rest of the water by chemical drying
