I always see 91% water or 70% water. I never see any pure or 99% rubbing alcohol for sale.

All alcohol contains water, its because 100% pure alcohol evaporates into the atmosphere untill its about 95% pure.
Scientists have managed to make 99% alcohol under controlled conditions.
That would make a nice drink!

That's partly because the alcohol needs diluted down so it doesn't hurt people. You'll notice that on a lot of other bathroom care products and medications. The percentage isn't very high and is diluted down because otherwise if it was nothing but the active ingredient it would hurt you because the solution is too strong.
