Hello guys. I'm wondering how many of us here still love to drink milk? I grew up with milk. My mom usually purchased fresh milk for me because i often skip breakfast during college days. But, now i rarely drink milk because of laziness and my tummy become more sensitive in dairy products. I love milk but no one preparing for me. I admit, I'm kinda lazy when it comes to that. I just want someone to prepare it for me(My mom preferred to buy powdered milk to lessen the expenses). How about you guys? Do you still drink milk? What type of milk you drink/purchase? Are you fond of drinking milk? Do you like milk with sugar? I prefer no sugar even if it's powdered milk. I don't mind if it's stateless.

I also drink chocolate milk. I don't usually drink milk. Just don't like the taste of it. I do drink it but it's very rare.

Being tall, I usually think that I need milk to strengthen my bones. I know that there are other sources of calcium but, milk simply makes it easy for me since I get to start with that in the morning. I really like drinking milk. A simple mug won't be enough for me so, I even went and bought myself a big glass just for drinking milk (^_^ ) That's what I usually have for breakfast when I was still going through college. Time just wasn't enough for a full meal so, milk would help me go until lunch time. Whenever my classmates would ask what I had for breakfast, they'd be surprised when I say I only had milk. They would say that they don't like the taste and others don't even have problems with their health and milk but, simply prefer other things than milk. Now that I am working, I still like to drink milk but, like you, I also want my mom to prepare it for me. I usually say that she knows how to do it better than I would ever come up with when I try to fix myself a glass of milk. Also no sugar.

I do like milk especially when it’s icy cold! I’ve always enjoyed drinking milk although it hasn’t always agreed with me! When I was a kid my family didn’t have much money so my mother used to sometimes heat a big cup of milk for me and I would have it with home made biscuits. She thought it was terribly sad that it was all she could give me as a meal whereas I used to love it! Warm milk still reminds of my childhood and I still enjoy it especially with a drop of string espresso coffee in it!

Yes, I still do. Sometimes my mother buys milk and I still drink it even if my mother don't make me drink it, I still drink it for myself.

I HATE drinking milk. Growing up my parents always bought 2% milk and it was so gross. My grandfather bought whole milk and even though I hated milk I could at least drink that without feeling like I was going to gag. I tried to drink milk a few weeks back with strawberry flavoring in it and it still just gave me that grossed out reaction. I drank the full glass but lol it will probably be years before I ever bother to drink a cup of milk again. I get plenty of milk in my diet but I just dont drink it straight down. It is an ingredient in a lot of the foods that I make. Macaroni and cheese the recipe I use uses a lot of milk as well as mashed potatoes. When I make oatmeal I use milk instead of water. My daughter doesnt care to much for milk but my son loves it but ONLY if I flavor it. He wont drink it regular I have to add flavoring to it. The strawberry flavoring has red dye in it and makes him really hyper so I only give him that before bed or I just flavor his milk with chocolate syrup.

I must admit I also started to drink less milk, than I used to when I was younger. I don't know the reason, maybe it's just change of preferences of mine. Another possible reason for that is that my stomach has also became more sensitive to milk. I can consume all the dairy products, but when it comes to raw milk, I sometimes have troubles with digesting it, in case I drink a lot of milk during the day.

I drink milk but I really don't like it all that much anymore, I will still drink it sometimes like if I have a bowl of cereal, or a piece of cake but I usually put chocolate syrup in it.

Yes, I still drink milk, especially now that I think I have calcium deficiency. I drink a chocolate, powdered milk with high calcium content so that I could get enough calcium every day. Since you don't drink milk anymore, maybe you should eat foods that are rich in calcium instead.

I really really do not like milk. The thought of drinking it makes me feel ill. I used to drink it all the time when I was younger and then I just stopped and I can't drink it anymore. I don't like it on my cereal either and would rather just have dry cereal than pour milk on it. My little sister and brother love milk and prefer full fat milk whilst my mother prefers semi-skimmed milk.

I love drinking milk! Milk is healthy, and tastes awesome. My favorite kind of milk is Ovaltine Chocolate Milk because it always is tasty, no matter what. The Vanilla Milk in those tiny bottles is the best taste, but you if you drink it too much, it isn't as good. Strawberry milk is also awesome. Powdered milk though, that is bull crap. I would never drink powdered.

I Love milk... I know it is pretty bad for a matured guy to admit that he likes milk, but as this is not a dating site, I can freely admit that I like milk... I Love it... I stay alone now, away from my family. So have to resort on the hotels and their chefs and the waiters for the quality of milk. I generally order milk with some energy booster mixed with it... sugar is must too.. Here they don't generally serve the powdered stuff.. We get buffalo milk here and that has to go with sugar or some other taste agent... :) Have fun!

Even as an adult, I still drink milk. But like you, I get lazy sometimes because I have to prepare it I usually buy ready-to-drink milk but if I bought a liter of it, it might spoil easily as I don't get to finish the whole bottle quickly. I also find it expensive. Recently I bought some powdered milk because it's cheaper and I must say it actually makes me feel lazy to prepare it. For the ready-to-drink milk, I usually buy the Anlene brand because of the nanocalcium. It is designed specifically for women and those with osteoporosis. I am in my 20s and I've read some article that it is best to build bone mass at this stage. That is why I prefer Anlene. Sometimes, I just buy the low-fat ones. In preparing the powedered milk, I don't add sugar because we have a family history of Diabetes and I like milk as it is.

I am a senior citizen. I am still taking milk and oats regularly, but without sugar. The milk I drink is prepared from powdered milk and added into oats. Milk provides a good source of calcium with added vitamins and minerals. However, milk tends to produce phlegm. So if you have cold and cough, then try to cut down your milk intake. All the best.

my age is 24 and i still drink milk when ever i can. i drink fresh milk. with sugar or not, i will drink milk because i just love dairy products. even old people still needs to drink milk because they would need an awful lot of calcium to sustain the strength and durability of their bones.

People should always drink milk as it's very good for you adn your body. I never really grew up with milk persay. It was in our food and cereal and drunk with our cookies. Only occasionally would we drink it alone and I still follow the same guidlines (although I get more than enough dairy in a day). But I find myself drinking it as itself more now that Im older. 2% or skim. Not powdered or anything like that. And milk withsugar I find ruins the point of getting healthy with it.
