You asked! How many drams (not fluid drams) in 72 kg? Oh, converting FROM metric. Hate it. Hope I get this right.
(72 kg)(2.2 lb./1 kg)(7000 gr.*/1 lb.*)(1 dram/60 gr.) = 18,480 drams, Bill! *grains Note: the 60 gr./dram equivalency is really only relevant in apothecary units, but the apothecary grain and the avoirdupois grain are equal.
