Milk...

Whole milk preferably, 2% if it's the only stuff available.
I work in a café/ice cream shop and prefer my milk in coffee, frozen into ice cream or in a milkshake.
We have ice cream made locally in small batches from local dairies...it's delicious. Ice cream made from Guernsey 'golden' milk is especially good. The higher butterfat content the better!
They sell 'raw' milk in Connecticut, however I would never buy it for anyone other than my cat. I milked cows and drank warm fresh milk a number of times when I was little, which was fun and a totally different experience from store bought milk.
My family is Swiss and I've picked up the appreciation for dairy products...cheese, yogurt, rich milk and crème fraîche... delicious.

I selected "other" only because we normally have 1%, but I don't mind 2% or heavier.
I usually enjoy creamy foods (especially full fat cheeses, yogurts, and of course butter), but I've decided that whole milk just isn't worth the calories and fat. I'd rather save my calories for something more substantial (like cheese, yogurt, or butter ).

full fat all the way...
Sometimes my mum brings back unprocessed milk from work (a farm), which is lovely, but sadly goes off after a day or two...

I don't know what the flaming hell 2% is but I tend to drink full fat milk. Goes fantastic with M&S cereal, yummm.
Never met a person in real life who drinks Soy milk. Is that more a US thing? I've seen it once or twice in shops here.
Semi Skimmed seems to be the more popular one round about where I live.

I think?!
1% = Skimmed (white water basically)
2% = Semi Skimmed or green top milk from our dairy/milkman
I only drink Semi Skimmed and it has to be fresh AND cold!!
I toned down on the dairy consumption so I use soy milk when eating cereal. Great decision because that vanilla silk tastes great with frosted flakes.
Not quite.I think?!

>3% - whole
2% - reduced Fat
1.5% - semi-skimmed
1% - low fat
<1% - skimmed/fat-free
1% "moo cow **** milk" (for any Lewis Black fans hereabouts.)
But, I pay the not-little extra, and get the "true-filtered"/"pure-filtered" stuff. Tastes like 2%, or even better. Use it in my coffee too, just a little more than with cream.
Go through 4 litres every 8 days or so.

I love milk and drink a lot.
Never had a big thirst for chocolate milk. Usually just regular white milk.
I find it interesting how many on this thread like chocolate milk.
Currently drink only skim milk, but have had all of the above throughout my life. Grew up on whole, drank chocolate almost exclusively during elementary school, moved to 2% during college, 1% when I graduated and started working out, and skim now that my workouts are more intense and calorie watching is more precise. I don't mind the difference much. I've never truly been one for drinking a glass of milk by itself though, usually only partaking in a bowl of cereal or with a sandwich or some cookies. *shrug* But I do love milk.
That's what I find interesting.What's not to like?
To me, milk is white, not chocolate.
The same as a coffee drinker who only drinks their coffee black with nothing added..
Anyhow, glad to see folks like chocolate milk. Just never realized how many do.

Me too, at least a pint a day, every day.
Milk is my favourite drink and always has been. I still hate Margaret Thatcher for stopping the free milk we had at school.
Milk is so $$ these days....I buy the cheapest so if it be low fat or normal then so be it.

Almost exactly what I've done, at the same time frames, too. Only difference is that mine was more for weight loss reasons. I think the biggest transition was going from 2% to 1% - that took some getting used to. Going from 1% to skim, I didn't really notice a difference.
