Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Do any of you guys drink a lot of milk?

I go through a gallon plus a week just by myself and sometimes I'll kill a couple of gallons. I've loved cold milk all my life. Warm milk would gag a maggot.

I make it a point not to keep it around. I would easily go through half a gallon a day if left unrestrained. I love the stuff!

Purchase two gallons every time I go to the grocers, and have a large glass with every meal... sometimes more. Then there is the late night hot chocolate and snacks!

i did until mid May....was using a cooler for a fridge out at Scott's so didnt keep alot of cold stuff on hand so quit drinking milk.....havent started back up....

No - Can't stand the vile stuff!

Ice cream or butter? You betcha!

Several times a year though, I get a craving for a peanut butter & jelly sandwich or raisin bran. The wife keeps a jug in the 'fridge 'cause she likes it in her coffee. I can't figure that one out, that's for sure.

I love sweet milk and buttermilk.......

I should drink a lot more to get the vitamin D. Half a gallon usually sours before I finish it.

Don't drink a lot but nothing better than a very cold glass with warm oatmeal raisin or chocolate chip cookies right out of the oven.

I go through a half gallon a week by myself, but I eat cereal at work for breakfast. I rarely have a glass of milk.

At one time drank a half gallon per day to put on some weight. Now I just wolf down a quart or so per day.

Like Mickey, I go through a lot of milk. I'd say I drink through a gallon every 4-5 days. At least one giant glass of it gets a couple of heaping TBSPs of Ovaltine, the original malt kind. Have loved the stuff since childhood.

for those that work out, chocolate milk is just as good as most of the after work out protein drinks you buy.....most use whey protein anyway

Yes I do! With dunking graham crackers! Both my dogs wait for their piece of cracker too!

( that was not a racial slur)

A gallon or two of buttermilk a week.

I drink two gallons a week. I only drink raw milk, though. Pasteurized milk gives me monster hay fever.

I wish I knew as a child what I learned about eight years ago when I switched to raw milk. Suddenly, what had been a lifelong misery, was gone, i.e., two allergy seasons every year since I was a little kid, lasting as long as two months each, where I'd often be so sick from constant sneezing that I'd have to spend days at a time in bed hopped up on Benadryl.

Suddenly, overnight, eight years ago, I discovered what it was like not to suffer from hay fever. And I had no idea that it had anything to do with pasteurized milk till I switched to raw and found out. I was like, "Hey, this is the time of year I'm supposed to be miserable with hay fever, WTF??" Have hardly had an allergy-related sniffle since. Where I used to never be without antihistamines, I haven't kept them in the house in years, as they're just not needed.

Only later, out of curiosity, did I research it and discover that this was a common experience for folks who switched from pasteurized milk to raw. The theory is that pasteurization destroys the enzymes necessary for properly metabolizing the milk proteins. Not being properly metabolized, when they enter the blood stream, your body recognizes them as foreign matter and triggers the immune system in response, i.e., what we call "hay fever" is the body's immune system going on full tilt to destroy and/or expel the unmetabolized milk proteins.

I drink a fair amount - gotta be skim milk and it's gotta be just above freezing.

my german shorthair would lean over your steak to try and steal a drink out of your glass of milk....that dog will do anything for a taste of some milk

A good friend drinks a couple of gallons a week usually with Jim Beam mixed in.
