Don't include the milk you put on your cereal or in your tea and coffee. I mean how much milk do you just pour into a glass and guzzle down?

I'm rather shocked to find I'm in the 10+ pints category. I love the stuff. But I feel a bit guilty whenever I read about the less-than-ideal ways in which cows are treated so I can drink their milk. It'd be tough to give it up, though.  :-\

In the UK, four pints is 2.272 litres, if that helps. ???

I don't drink milk in pure form because I can't stand the taste of it.  However, if the flavor is covered up by something that I like, I will drink it.  At work, there is chocolate milk in the vending machine and I buy that a few times each week.  Chocolate nicely covers up the taste of the milk and makes it palatable for me.

I stopped drinking cows milk about 20 years ago. :)

ok let me do the math
1 pint=.6 qt
and 1 qt=1/4 gallon...

so i pint is 3/20 of a gallon...hmm how much do you use when your pour a glass? Your hurting my brain with this question mark. ;D

Wow someone drinks 10 pints? About a week ago I had like half a gallon of chocolate milk...made me sick!

But I also notice when I drink alot of milk, I feel lighter and even weigh less. Strange!

I wonder what breast milk tastes like. Maybe Mark can let us know?

Like Heather, I too do not enjoy the taste of milk. Any Soy fans around?

About a cup a week with some cereal. Lactose free kind though. I am trying to switch to Soymilk for that. I don't think milk is very good for you.

Yogurt, now that's a different story  :-*

Yep, soy milk all the way for me :)

Less than one cup per day.

Americans are stuck with the same crazy units of liquid measure as the British, and for the life of me I can't remember how many x's go in a y. We could all go metric tomorrow and I would be perfectly happy.

But here it is (I had to look it up):

8 ounces = 1 cup
2 cups = 1 pint
2 pints = 1 quart
2 quarts = half-gallon
4 quarts = gallon

Humans are the only mammals drinking milk after they have been weaned!  ;D
