I'm currently involved in politics discussions, Wikipedia disputes, and tons of homework, so I think it's necessary that I get my priorities straight. I was drinking milk today.

What's your favorite milk or milk-like drink?

For the record, I'm not sure where to put chocolate milk. I don't think it counts as a separate category, since it's merely flavored milk of some particular milkfat content.

Me, personally? I like 2% milk the most. Less milkfat means faster spoiling, but I like the flavor of 1-2%. I dislike the flavor of skim milk. Whole milk is nice, but given my penchant for eating really creamy/fatty foods, I decided I might want a bit less.

As for soy milk, I prefer it sweetened.

Also, my apologies if the poll's apostrophes are formatted funny.

How bizarre. I've just been drinking this chocolate-soya milk my flatmate has been buying in quantity from Lidl (59p a litre!) and it tastes like brilliant. I put down soya because it's thin and 3% protein or something. I had rice milk a while back when one of my kids (not mine, but I was taking care of them) was allergic to dairy. It tastes madly sweetened but afterwards I have always made a mental note to buy some.

I must be some sort of crazy freak of nature because my milk allergies are backwards. I'm usually fine with normal milk (except the occasional stomachache), but I'm irritatingly (not deathly) allergic to soy milk. I guess I'm evolved against alternative substitutes.

I like anything from skim to whole. I drank Half and Half straight recently with cookies, since we were out of milk. Not too good.

1%. I've been raised on it for almost my entire life, so skim tastes like water and 2% tastes like cream.

I'd have to go with 2% milk. I usually drink milk with each meal in some form or another (whether it be with cereal or straight up).

Needs more "with Bailey's" option.

I usually do skim. I'm keeping my girlish figure. I have gotten to the point where I can't even drink 2% or higher any more unless it's steamed and atop espresso.

Was all about the whole milk (vitamin D where I come from) when I was but a lad, then later on, I only had access to skim, which to me is basically milk mixed with water. Eventually, when I struck out on my own, I found that my years of skim had soured me (lol, pun!) to whole, so I've struck with the happy medium of 2%.

I like 2% but the family buys Whole Milk.

C'est la vie.

I mostly just drink it with cereal anyhow. Other than that, it's water.

Whole milk. It's patriotic to drink whole milk. Because it's not the most healthy option. And if you pick the healthy option here, you're not a patriot, and that makes you a TERRORIST! And the alternatives taste funny too!

*Only the first two words are remotley serious in the above. Milk is milk and skimmed is watered down, fin.

Whole milk is my favorite, although I'll drink anything from skim to 2%.
Never had soy milk in my life, goat's milk is okay and I very much like concentrated sugared milk, yum.

Soymilk, preferably the Silk variety, plain. Vanilla can be good too, but I usually don't like the extra sweetness.

I must have the bones of Atlas, because I drink a ton of milk. I drink it with breakfast, with lunch, with dinner, my snacks and desert. We go through three bags (Anyone else get milk bags? I know some folk don't.) In a day. And my parents only use it for tea.

Anydangway, 2% is the preferred milk in our household. My grandma used to use cream in her cereal, but thankfully she didn't exactly pass that one on to me.

Does any one else think of someone trying to milk a soybean when they hear of soy milk?

I don't really know exactly how much fat is in the milk i drink, but for the choices in Denmark, i definately pick the lighter ones... The fat milks make me feel like puking.

Oh, and i didn't vote.

You're Canadian, aren't you? We used to get milk delivered to our door in bags when I was a kid, and we had a pitcher to put the bag in.

My sister made that comment about the soybean to me. She was even more surprised to hear about rice milk, and almond milk. Milking a rice grain has to be the most difficult of all. A few years ago, there was talk in vegetarian/vegan forums about potato milk, but I've yet to see it.

Well, it used to be (I haven't bought milk myself since 1999 or so, so I'm really out of the loop. My soymilk comes in a carton), and it's apparently common in Dragon King's area. I think when you have, say, three kids and they drink milk a lot, bagged milk is a good deal.

It used to be the norm here too for our milk to be delivered in bags, and we also had a pitcher to put them in. I guess it really must be some sort of Canadian thing, but I haven't heard of this being done in a long time. Now, we tend to just spring for the cartons of milk.

On that note, I was raised on 2% milk, but honestly I'm more partial to whole. Not entirely sure why, but it's just what works for me. I'm with Josh though, needs more with Baileys option.
