You are my new best friend! We have much to talk about. Welcome to TSM.com!!!!!!!!

Hi Helsinki,

It's great to have someone on board from Finland - you are the first (unless I've missed someone).

From your post above, your written English is excellent.

A very warm welcome to our community!

How do Finnish units compare with US units?

One Finnish unit is for instance

a bottle of normal (4,5 % vol) beer (33 cl) or
a glas (12 cl) of red or white wine or
a bottle of wine (0,75 cl = 0.198 gallons ? ) is 6,5 units
"strong" wine (8 cl) or
4 cl wodka etc.

One unit is always 12 grams any kind of pure alchohol

100 cl centilitres is one litre. One litre is 0.264 gallons
I hope I can convert the cubic measures right...?

Welcome Helsinki!
Very glad you could join us.The units are a little different but they used grams in Russia and I got used to also converting to that. My question is, what is written on a standard bottle of wine in Finland as the units? Is it cubic litres? I am curious to know. I think I sort of know. Then I will convert to get more of an idea. I wish you the best and I also started with 50mg of Naltrexone.

I too am so happy to hear from you, Helsinki!! The news from Finland (& because of Dr. Sinclair) is what we enjoy most. Hope you will post often and yes, your English seems great. Good luck to you and don't be a stranger!

Hey,
I am so glad I found this forum! Thank you all for wonderful posts

Finland is no wine country, all wine is imported, from all over the world. The climate here is too cold for cultivating grapes.

In a bottle of Gallo Family Savignon Blanc (USA) there is written: 75 cl (centilitres), 13 % VOL.

In almost every bottle of wine there is 75 cl or 750 ml (millilitre) or 0,75 litre. Then we have boxes and bottles of one litre, but they are rare. And we have Bag-in-Boxes of three litres witch is four bottles.

I today asked a shop assistant in a liquor store, and she said that almost all wine is bottled where it its country of origin. Wine is imported at least from Germany, Italy, France, Spain, South Africa, USA, Australia, Hungary and South America.

All the best!
It is good to belong to a "boat" like this.

PS. my 15th week has not been very succesful, I drank more than I planned, about 20 (Finnish Units)

This is interesting... I took 50mg naltrexone for the first time the other night and "The Beast" awakened very noticeably after 7 or 8 hours, and my rate of intake increased considerably. This recommendation to take another 50mg after six hours (or perhaps another 25mg every four hours) would seem to match the biological halflife of naltrexone according to wikipedia (4 hours), my subjective experience, and what you're doing... might I ask where you got the recommendation to take another after 6 hours?
