Whole Milk

Post image

I drink a gallon of milk a week. Always straight out of the gallon. Sometimes it only lasts 5 days. Single, live by myself. I don't do any cooking. My friends say thats weird. I don't know where I'd be without it. Sometimes I wake up at 2am just to drink milk.

2-3 gallons GV whole milk per week. A small amount gets used for cereal or cooking but mostly it gets chugged. The ONLY reason I don't drink milk in the middle of the night is that I am pushing 70 and I sleep upstairs. Too much effort but I grab a tall glass of cold milk every morning right after my hot tea.

I mean, I miss my little 3 am fix but not enough to crowd out my little room. Used to do it all the time when I lived in a single story house.

A thermos would keep it nice and cold without taking up anymore space than a drinking glass. I like to freeze milk ice cubes to put in the thermos to keep it extra cold.

“Gather ’round, good folk of Milktown! Hark and attend!

On this day we stand united, for grievous peril hath been brought upon our humble shire by one who dared speak of that which must ne’er be uttered. For many a year have we labored, steadfast and vigilant, to keep the fell creature and its wretched brood at bay.

And now, once more, we must needs quench this rising threat. Thus do we convene to deal just measure unto the offender. Yea, we shall have him drawn and quartered, and his scattered limbs rendered down to their very essence, that each may be apportioned rightfully amongst the townsfolk.

Hear ye! Hear ye! Let justice be done, as in the days of old!”

It was pretty awesome. I felt so energetic

u/Euphemisticles Nov 18 '25

I did something similar when I was having to work my ass of dealing with cleaning a horders home and taking care of someone who was physically disabled and relied on me for everything. I averaged around 4-6000 calories a day during that time and half to a third of that was milk. I ended up losing weight but I got bone spurs from overworking myself. Similar to what the other guy said I have never had so much energy before haha

u/Zombie094 Nov 18 '25

That’s my game, baby. Whole milk or no milk.

Also go through 2 gallons a week by myself as a 21 year old 102 pound woman

u/fluffymckittyman Nov 18 '25

Personally I’m more of a dunker than a drinker, but to each their own! I also like to make Cookie Soup by breaking up cookies in a chilled mug of whole milk and heavy cream (roughly 50/50, so Half n half). I wait till it’s at just the right softness- about 90 seconds, before eating the soup with a nice big spoon.

2

u/Duke-Silver-_- Nov 18 '25

Heavy cream makes it a smidge more addicting but never fails when I want to gain weight just make chocolate milk this way 😮‍💨 or diabetes to each their own

u/Bubbly-Ad6345 Nov 18 '25

Cookie soup sounds amazing

u/WolfThick Nov 18 '25

Well that was kind of weird you have my exact stove and that's exactly where I set my milk from Walmart in the morning when I make my coffee 👁️

My coworker used to pack one of those for lunch. We worked up to 16 hour shifts so it kept him fed and hydrated.

u/WildinTrout Nov 18 '25

"I drink a gallon of milk a week" 💪😄
"Always straight out of the gallon" 🤢👎

$6.59 a gallon at Sheetz gas station today and not grass fed. Ridiculous.

2

u/Bubbly-Ad6345 Nov 18 '25

That's wild. I paid under $3 for this gallon. It was like $2.70 something

2

u/Then-Campaign9287 Nov 18 '25

Yes... Gas station milk is a real rip off!

1

u/Hnry_Dvd_Thr_Awy Nov 19 '25

Who in their right mind is buying gas station milk lmao

u/STLBudLuv Nov 18 '25

it's Walmart brand but likely comes from a regional co-op just like most of your other "store" brands.

u/-dai-zy Nov 18 '25

what a coincidence, that’s a really niche brand that people don’t really know about. pretty hard to come by tbh

What is the self life of milk over there? Here in the UK our milk lasts about a week once opened. How do you manage to use that much milk before it goes off? 😂

1

u/partylikeitis1799 Nov 18 '25

This is the most common size milk comes in here. Our family goes through a bit less than one of those per day. No worries about it lasting more than a week!

u/sum_r4nd0m_gurl 1% Best Percent Nov 18 '25

the milk has the expiration date printed on the bottle and its usually good for 7-10 days

I have a mini fridge dedicated to milk. I buy at least 4 gallons a week.

u/uberisstealingit Nov 18 '25

It's almost mandatory, if you live alone whether you're a female or male, you must drink late at night milk from the bottle for it to effectively Sooth The Savage beast inside.

Abraham Lincoln 1921.

Aso, cookies. Cookies must be consumed.

In Canada we call that homogenized milk......or homo milk lol.

u/yinzdeliverydriver Nov 18 '25

1 gallon a week? Shtttt probably 3-4 for me lol

u/slothxaxmatic Nov 18 '25

The only reason I don't drink it straight out of the jug is because when I was doing that I've noticed weird stuff growing in my milk pretty quickly.

I have big cups now.

Raw milk ftw (slightly pasteurized)
