All of the above. I can tell a difference but it doesn't bother me either way.

I'm a man, therefore I drink whole milk. Only pussies drink skim. /thread

2% usually. I do like silk or almond milk every now and then. Haven't drank it though since last time I bought silk it was all clumpy and gross.
Side note: Horizon chocolate milk is the best in the biz

Whole. Drink a 16 oz carton every morning. 
Posted on 8/7/12 at 8:56 am to Hugo Stiglitz
Whole. We buy 3-4 gallons a week.

Skim. Once you get used to it, the other stuff tastes funny.

I don't drink milk very often, but when I do I settle for nothing less than creamline milk, and not just because it tastes infinitely better. It's the closest thing to real milk that you can buy - the only thing separating it from raw milk is pasteurization, and in the best cases not the excessive persuasions of the process that destroy nutrients unnecessarily.
Skim milk and related low-fat options (and even most supermarket whole milk, unfortunately) are an extremely processed food and there is nothing healthy about them. Homogenization and the methods of fat-removal (because second-guessing Mother Nature and changing the chemical make-up of an organic food is a great idea) negatively impact the way our bodies absorb the milk. The stuff that exists in milk naturally is there for a reason - I believe a person is much better off not drinking milk at all than they are ingesting some manufactured garbage designed to play to an indoctrinated (and discredited) fear of saturated fat.

Skim or 1%. Whole is for fat asses.

2-3 gallons of 0% fat milk...dr told me that is the most perfect drink there is...

Whole milk. It's much healthier.

I get whatever lasts the longest. I don't drink enough milk to buy the kind that only lasts a week.
So, that organic kind that lasts a month.

2% usually, because most of it is drunk by my kids and that's what our pediatrician recommended.
1% if I'm buying milk just for myself. I can't stand skim milk, it's like drinking watered-down milk, IMO.

Udvarnoky, great post! Thanks. That's what I've been finding out too. Where do you buy your milk?
Posted on 8/7/12 at 10:33 am to tracytiger
Your local options for non-homogenized whole milk are Smith's Creamery and Felicana's Best Creamery. Both brands are good and I've seen them both stocked at Calvin's, but I'm sure you can find at least one of them at the likes of Whole Foods and farmer's markets as well.

I grew up on whole, but mainly drink soy or almond now.
I love the taste of almond milk by itself but find it tastes terrible on my cereal. So, I have almond for regular drinking and 2% for my cereal.

A treat is to have access to unhomogenized milk. You can't drink it every day, and only consuming a small bit of it tastes great.
Posted on 8/7/12 at 10:48 am to Hugo Stiglitz
I read somewhere that 2% is actually the healthiest.
