....And there's naught wrong with drinking sour milk. After all, we use sour cream, eat cheese, butter and any number of "soured" milk products. ^
Are you talking about the stuff in a carton that sits on an unrefrigerated shelf in the store? I've been curious, but we still consume quite a bit of milk and opt for the big cheap jugs of 2%. For sure, I will be buying the smaller big jugs in the future.
I'm not sure I would trust the uncontrolled deterioration of dairy in my refrigerator as much as factory cotrolled, government regulated and inspected production of sour cream, yogurt and cheese. I don't know that the product that results from ignoring expiration dates at home is any of those.
Final chapter, hopefully: it's been 7 hours and I have no symptoms. I think the milk was ok although possibly well on its way to bad.
