I Wonder??

[Bryce Frazier]

How many gallons of milk does a person drink in their lifetime? Anyone have a guess! Bryce

 

[BAnNC]

15 yr old son and I go through about 6 gallons a week. 52 x 6 = 312 a year.

 

[John M]

6 GALLONS A WEEK! Geez! We dont go through 2 a week, and theres 4 of us! Even growing up we didnt go though more than 2 a week!

You might want to slow him down on that. There are some medical reports that link arthritis with drinking a lot of milk.

 

[Glen SW Wi]

Don't really know but I hope the cow doesn't kick me when I'm under there.

 

[just another old geezer]

One gallon per week ×52 weeks per year =52 gallons a year × 102 years (how long Dad lived). =5304 gallons.

[Donald Lehman]

I drink around a half gallon a day.

 

[rustyacres sd]

I alone can go thru 4 gallons a week. Trying to cut down on the amount I drink.

That"s like asking how much air a person breathes in. Which person are you talking about?

Thanks, will look into that. I would be more at risk than he at this point.

My wife and I use to drink a gallon a day. Now days because of medical issues we only drink a gallon a week and drink skim milk ( I call it flavored water).

I would be suprised if I even have one glass a year, never liked it much and don"t eat much cereal to even put it on, but I do like cream in my coffee every morning. Think I saw something on it a while back from the Milk Council or someone maybe Milk Producers or?

I haven't drank milk in fifty years. I am allergic to it.

 

[Russ from MN]

Dairy milk is for calves! That's what my mother used to say. But we drank some when I was young. A few years ago I discovered that dairy products were bothering my digestive system so I switched to soy milk. I will never go back, even if I could.

 

[Dick2]

Me too!

Milk is a natural food. Most All baby's need mamas milk. As far as medical research goes I would be leary of the majority of it. I am sure that if a person dug deep enough you could find a study that says Horses are bad for you. It is just like anything someone likes it and someone don't, and people can always have studies that say it is good and others can say it is bad. Also so you know where I am coming from I used to be a dairy farmer and I had a horse at one time.

Of course babies need milk, that's not the issue. They studied adults who drank large quantities of milk.

I am older than my brother, he drinks little milk and I drink lots.
He has arthritis and I do not.

Perhaps it can aggravate things if you are going to get it anyway.

 

[Anonymous-0]

Lots!!! If it didn't exist I'd a had to invent it. 72+ and still drinkin'it......

 

[notjustair]

Ugh, I'd rather drink a steamy mug of battery acid. I cannot remember EVER pouring a glass if milk. Mom hated it so we didn't drink it. Iced tea, lemonade, or water for me. I love cheese and yogurt, but it gives me chills to think about drinking milk. I've got some texture hang ups (no V8 either). I think it is that more than the taste. Don't even talk to me about Pepto Bismol.

 

[Rollie NE PA]

I could not even guess. I have not drank milk in 55 years. I do eat a lot of ice cream, does that count? My Grandfather every morning had a bowl of milk with peaches and bread mixed in with the milk.

 

[MARK ROBKE]

I could never understand how anyone could not like milk : I grew up on a dairy farm and drank all I could(almost no pop til late teens). I love it, but unfortunately can longer drink any due lactose intolerance which came about in my 40s. I now drink mostly ice tea, orange juice, and some pop. But I still miss ice cold milk! Mark

And not a whole lot of flavor either!
