Am I an addict,I'm up to a gallon of milk a week, do I have a problem?

I just walked out in single digit temperatures to get a fresh gallon, I can't sleep at night without drinking a glass first or knowing that I'm almost out.

Update:

A day I mean, I'm up to 7 gallons a week

Update 2:

its only 2.39 a gallon here, I started on skim, but now I'm hittin the hard stuff Vitamin D, lately I've been mixing it with heavy whipping cream. I'm afraid I'll eventually go to straight cream!

Update 3:

I've also started mixing sugar and sour cream and just eating it off a spoon.

    That's a lot of milk. Hopefully it is skim milk so you don't get fat. Check for a local chapter of MA. Milkaholics Anonymous.

    I could easily do that. I love milk.

    I don't know that I would call it an addiction. You're supposed to drink about 64oz of water every day and a gallon is about 120oz, I think. Some people need more fluids than others (if you're active, really tall, overweight, etc).

    The thing is, milk tastes better than water (for a lot of people anyway)... so it's easier to drink.

    It really isn't good to drink quite as much milk as you are drinking. That's how my grandfather and I became lactose intolerant. If you find that you become lactose intolerant, you can rebuild your ability to handle lactose by consuming very small amounts (like a slice of cheese, etc) regularly.

    (TMI Warning: I'm no longer really what I would call lactose intolerant, because milk actually helps my system to function properly now, as opposed to forcing it into overdrive.)

    Children on up into teenagers need 4 each 8oz glasses of milk per day (without all the stuff you are adding to it). Adults need only one glass per day. This will give you good strong bones that will not break when you become a senior citizen. Good strong teeth and nice looking skin.

    BUT...the added stuff will kill you while you are still young. Heart disease in the making. So get control of yourself.

    I feel it is a bit too much, but as long as you can afford to pay for it and eat a decent selection and quantities I see no problem

    That would cost you about $45.00 pw here at our prices

    Your only problem is not knowing what an addiction is.
