Is 51 ppm (parts per million) the same as 5.1 ppb (parts per billion)
Or is it 51,000 ppb?
Edit: found my senses and a calculator

That's a fucking brilliant question.Arthur Brutal wrote:Tesco Express are selling modified Stella cans, 4x440ml for £3.54. These are only 4.8% in strength.
How many cans of 500ml Kronenberg at £1 per can and 5% strength does the Tesco offer equal?
I once spent some time (whilst drinking) working out how many cans of 'non-alcoholic' lager (officially 0.05% in alcohol) you would need to get pissed in a standard 7pm-closing time session (say 4 hours for ease of maths).Arthur Brutal wrote:Tesco Express are selling modified Stella cans, 4x440ml for £3.54.

I'll let you know before noon tomorrow.
Thanks, I always wonder about these differentials but you're saying both options are pretty much the same - I think.m4rkb wrote:m4rkb wrote:That's a fucking brilliant question.Arthur Brutal wrote:Tesco Express are selling modified Stella cans, 4x440ml for £3.54. These are only 4.8% in strength.

A Tesco can on its own will cost 0.885p (eighty eight pence happeny) and 1ml will cost 0.0020113p. So pro rata the 500ml can will be 500 times more , or £1.00565
To find the pro rata price at 5% it's £1.00565 /4.8 x 5 , which is £1.047552
so you'll need 1/1.047552 (0.955 cans of Kronenbourg to have drunk the equivalent value of a Tesco can)
But we should promote sensible drinking so you should drink the can of Kronenbourg (preferebly as a four pack) plus the other four Tesco cans as well .
