Err... in our house we go through 16 litres (just over 28 pints) of skimmed milk per week between four of us.

By my reckoning:
Me: 1 litre per week on cereal
Wife: 1.6 litres per week on cereal and tea
Daughter: 0.6 litres (drinks a couple of half glasses of milk per week)
Son: 12.8 litres per week as it is all he drinks!

Well, write it down boy ......
Does anyone have "raw" milk? My milkman doesn't deliver it, but I can get it nearby and I do find it lovely. Can also get cream, butter etc. from the same place and the containers have labels stating, "this product may contain bacteria harmful to health". I like living on the edge.

I get through the best part of 8 pints of green milk a week. What about the rest of you ?
about the same at home, but my milk is full fat.

At work i'll drink about a pint a day of semi-skimmed... just because it's quicker and easier than making a hot drink.

so all in all, about 13 pints a week... sounds quite a lot now i think about it.

my sister married a dairy farmer so their milk comes direct from the milking machine. I keep meaning to ask BiL if the machine does the pasteurising or if it just sucks and the milk get pasteurised elsewhere.

Don't certain moo cows produce pasturied :laugh:

I usually get through around 4 litres a week. I would drink more but for some reason if i drink to much it gives me a blinding headache

There was a story years ago about a keep fit/ sporty bloke who keeled over and died. They put the cause down to drinking excessive amounts of full fat milk (think the cholesterol blocked his arteries?).
