I used to drink milk all the time till they started running the stupid commercials and raised milks prices sky high. Now that Im married with two kids milk is one of the things that takes alot of our food budget. Atleast $50+ per month is spent on milk which right now is more then I spend on gas for my van.

I trully did not understand the need for a milk ad just so they could rasie the prices of it. Do I really need to pay extra for it so the olsen twins can look gay and the caption say "Got Milk"? We know what it tastes like. Almost every food production uses milk in some form or another, loose the ad and bring back the 99 cent gallons so I can drink it again damnit!!!!! Im sure im not the only one that quit drinking it. Hell I used to chug the stuff because it tastes soooooooo good. Damn im pissed now thanks op!

i love milk with most sweet desserts/baked goods, and with cereal on the rare occassion i eat it.

i rarely drink it by itself though.

Don't drink milk? Are you one of those soy juice drinking hippies?

I drink milk almost every day, w/ cereal. And I'm an "old" guy.

I like the taste of milk, but I am a little lactose intolerant. I still buy chocolate milk every once in a while and drink it. I drink mostly pop/soda/cola along with water.

The best tasting milk I have ever had was from a local farmer who had a dairy cow. It was some great tasting stuff, sweet tasting and thicker than the stuff you buy at the store.

Male, No, I don't drink it, never really liked it, besides, milk is for BABIES. That's what it's for! Don;t you think it's kind of odd that humans drink another specie's milk?

There is a lot of research showing adults, and a kid over 12 or so shouldn't drink it. A lot of it by a former scientist who worked for the American Dairy Assoc, and he and his entire family avoid it as much as possible. Of course, all you see on TV is the "Milk, it does a body good" BS.

It's linked to diabetes, and a few other fun diseases. Two of my friends who chug it, and werent fat developed type II diabetes before the age of 40. I, on the other hand, AM fat, and my sugar is perfect!

I hate pretty much all dairy stuff, such as cheese of any kind, except Ice Cream an TCBY. I do have those once in a while, but that's it.

It causes kidney stones so I don't drink it that much. Don't wanna be pissing out a rock the size of a pea through my kidneys.

How can i have been drinking literally litres of the stuff for my whole life (as does my bro, and many others i know) and never suffered from or heard of this happening?
