Problem with the units

[edit]

Dear All;

I'm too lazy to go look up the reference to see what it should be, but there is a problem in the dosage of the alcohol to the baboons. The current pages says "about 750 millilitres (0.026 oz)", which unfortunately gets the unit conversion off by a factor of 1000. 750 ml is about 26 oz, and 0.026 oz is about .750 ml or 750 microliters. Neither sounds right to me -- baboons can really take a drink if they can take a whole bottle of EverClear a day without dieing right off, or are really drinking lightweights if they can't even handle a single drink each day.

But like I said, I'm too lazy to check the primary source.
