Drink it. You usually have a day or two of leeway from the actual expiry date that is marked.

I throw milk out if it gets within 5 days of the expiration. When it gets even close to expiration, it smells and tastes disgusting.

That's the sell by date. You have a few days after that. If it smells fine, drink it.

Never really cared for or went by expiration dates. It'll be fine up to almost a week.

It's not expired yet. It's the store covering their ass incase something happens. You should be good for another few days.

One day my friend drank milk from my HS's cafeteria. After he had chugged it down, he commented taht it was chunky. Turns out it had expired almost a week ago. He's still alive to my knowledge.

I never drink after the expiration date because dairy products can be unreliable and even expire before
the expiration date sometimes

ok, and if it does "expire" what does that do to you? what does "expire" even mean? its not like its going to kill you, unless its contaminated with some sort of deadly disease, or toxin...
