    I got a copy with page numbers.

    4% beer? interesting....

    Scratching my brain here, but I remember this is often state based, I think 2.6% vs 6% and one is OK to sell to a 18yo while the other is ok to sell to 21yo+ but it depends on the state. Thing is, they are basically identical. One is by weight, the other by volume. Idiotic gvmt regs....



    Yeah, I'll leave you a good reply on Lulu

    Thanks for writing this!

    Review:

    I got my copy yesterday and am very impressed with it! Yes, it needs a few tweaks, but it will teach you a lot. So far I have just glanced through it and in that brief review I learned a few things. I've been in the biz. There is valuable information in this text and I recommend it to anyone. It is both useful to the novice, but the experienced medic will also gain helpful insights from it. Recommended!

    On Beer... I unfortunately do not have a can of it on hand, but I think they are 8 fluid ounces. Maybe it's 10 or 12. I believe there are also 14-16oz cans that are marketed as "tall" cans - hay this is the US and we are weird here... We also are generally not metric.

    I have a bottle and it reads 12 fluid ounces.

    I also have an "oil can" of Fosters which is an AU beer, but I think brewed in the US, that is not your average can... (It's HUGE) and reads: 25.4 fluid ounces, 750 ml, one pint 9.4 Fl OZ

    Cans of Foster are not your normal beer in this country - normal cans are more like a soda size can. These are tall and wide - AND TASTY!

    Just FYI!

    Look forward to reading the book this year. Good to see there are other people out their with an interest in this topic.

    Two quick questions for you:

    1) Your new co-author Is Dr. Craig Ellis. Is that the Craig that we know and love here?

    2) Have you used any of the material found on this site / the original survival medicine book in your work?
