If someone was able to filter vodka down to its purest form, and get rid of all the contaminants, wouldnt that be, in essence, rubbing alchohol? If they did would it be the perfect drink with no hangover?

apparently does not effect your system directly instead it manuplates the way your brain works which in turn sets your body to react to the alcohol producing that drunk effect..i think you would probably still get a hangover good question though
im going to go drink some nail varnish to see what happens

Ultra high-end distillers work very hard to get more and more control over the distillation process, resulting in a spectacularly clean product. Us vodka lovers approve!
Often, only the heart of the run, the center portion, is taken, leaving behind residual higher and lower alcohols. The vodka is cleansed of phenols, esters, congenersand organic acids by filtering it through the finest activated carbon available.
It is, as close to a "pure" ethanol as is possible with today's technology. The reduction in the impurities does indeed reduce "hangover", although, alcohol is a foreign and corrosive substance to the body and there will always be some response.
Rubbing alcohol? That is generally methanol, alcohol made from wood.
I suppose you could rub a nice vodka on as well... but where would you put the olive?

In being a Vodka lover I can say that filtering vodka to it purest form would not turn it into rubbing alcohol, and no it would no be the perfect drink with no hangover. To minimize a hangover don't mix the Vodka or any other type of alcohol for that matter with any type of sugary drink such as juice or pop. Organge jucie (not the fake stuff) is fine.

well not rubbing alcohol which has the addition of methanol to render it undrinkable, but you are in the right direction.
Vodka is just watered down alcohol. The contaminants as you say are commonly called "flavor".
The premium alcohols are at least triple distilled and taken from the second 2/3 of the distillation. The first third will contain contaminants that have a lower boiling point then alcohol.
