What kind of milk do you drink?

The idea of milk sitting in my pantry for months doesn't exactly elicit "yum" as a response.

You would think, but once that nasty milk that scares children and kills old people hits your lips, that familiar feeling of satisfaction comes over you, and you begin to have convulsions.

I drink 2%. I guess I'm getting older and more health conscious....

I heard a nice story about milk, in which they dehydrate it and then remix it later in large vats with water. Mmmm, tasty!

As for me I drink rice or almond milk. Used to drink soy, but try to avoid everything with soy these days (pretty much damned impossible).

1% but I have opened up to 2% this past year. Whole milk is bleeehhhh.

because it was cheaper in quebec, and because i was poor, i bought skim. Even now, i tend to buy this one; i get my fat elsewhere

I can cope with 1% ans 2%, but 3% is absolutely disgusting

I never drink milk but if I need to buy it (in case I want to make yogurt or have it stocked for a week much needing of coffee or something), I usually buy 2%.

EDIT: I lied, I have dried non-fat milk I use too.

Normally, I prefer skim milk, as the whole milk tends to make me feel sick, because of the density of fat within the milk...:lol:
But I also don't think 1% is bad, since little bit of fat can help you satisfy your tongue.

Organic rice milk or sometimes almond for me. if you guys are interested look up Monsanto Milk on youtube

I tend to drink semi skimmed.

Someone forgot to add Goat and coconut milk.

I would love coconut milk, but it taste nothing like the coconut flavor in milkshakes. Anybody know why is that?

You drink pure coconut milk?! I thought it's used mainly in curries, and I can't imagine drinking it alone.

I've never tried coconut flavoured milkshakes. Where are you from?

Chicago, theres a couple places where you could get coconut milkshakes which are AWESOME but the coconut milk ive tried taste really different and bad to me ;(

I voted skim, simply because there was no "any normal" option. Manmilk need not apply there.

I can drink any flavor of the stuff, really, that I've come across. I sure notice the difference, but it's not a deal-breaker for me.

This flexibility makes me pretty happy

Probably because they don't add coconut milk to milkshakes. I imagine it's a typical milkshake with coconut shavings or flavoring instead of, say, vanilla or chocolate. Coconut milk is a whole different beast entirely. If your coconut milk did taste like normal or soy milk, I'd get worried.

Nope, it has no shavings, just an AWESOME taste. Yet, coconut milk taste completely different otherwise.

You're pretty much asking why orange kool-aid doesn't taste like orange juice.

Whole Milk please, the other two just tastes like water personally. But If I have to I won't mind the other two.

Whole milk is usually only 3% which isn't exactly a drastic difference.

I wonder about some of the people who swear by skim and 2% and sacrifice flavor over fat content that will probably never make a measureable difference to their body.

Of course, if you just prefer the flavor of one over the other, that's a bit different but I hardly think an extra percent or two of fat qualifies as gluttonous.

Sacrifice the flavor... of some lard.

I "sacrifice" that flavor when I clean out my grease trap too. Should I be saving it for you flavor-lovers?
