Also, please realize, whether you "need" or "want" absolute ethanol, or need to learn how for the fun of it or some application, that the production of absolute ethanol, even in tiny amounts, is tantamount to bootlegging, which is illegal, in just about any jurisdiction that has laws.

CaCl2 is soluble in ethanol. Moreover, Anhydrous CaCl2 forms solvate with ethanol (CaCl2·3C2H5OH). Lowitz around 1800 obtained small amount of absolute ethanol by this dehydrating agent. Using this method you do not dehydrate ethanol completely and you need repetead use a good distillation column. In lab CaO, CaC2 or azeotropic destillation with benzene are used.
