You mean the Imperial system?

On the earth’s surface, one slug = 32 pounds. Just like one kilogram = 9.81 newtons. (Just to compare mass with weight on our planet’s surface, because both one slug and one kilogram weigh nothing in space.)

But it’s nuts!
Or, it’s wrong of people to use pounds when they mean mass...

one slug = 32 pounds.


So, having a few slugs of Bushmills might be overdoing it?
