I have recently changed from semi-skimmed cow's milk to almond milk (sweetened) and I'm loving it in my tea! Also felt kind of weird drinking milk from another animal and after a recent story I read, it made me change to almond milk.

Unsweetened almond milk all the way! I like soy milk too but I try to only drink it once in a while (say at starbucks or something.)0

I like unsweetened vanilla almond and unsweetened unflavored soy. Soy has more protein and I like the soy flavor. I do eat regular cheese though on occasion.0

I'm lactose intolerant. I use lactose-free skim milk for things like oatmeal and cereal (though I don't really eat either of those too often) and vanilla soy milk for smoothies. I do put normal half and half in my coffee because I typically drink it in the morning, and right after I eat I take a vitamin and a combination probiotic/lactase pill. That way the half and half doesn't disrupt my stomach, because even small amounts of lactose make me feel totally sick, bloated, and other unpleasant things0

Unsweetened vanilla almond milk. I don't ever drink it alone. I just use it in smoothies.0

I would say, please do not drink soy milk as it can increase the chance of breast and prostate cancer.0

When I was losing weight I drank unsweetened almond milk, in maintenance I have fat free skim milk, same as the rest of my family. I didn't like buying 2 milks.0

Either way, I only have 8 oz per day.0

Whole milk.0

Yes really:
Choosing almond milk over cow’s milk or soy milk may help reduce your risk for developing certain types of cancer. According to a study published in a 2011 issue of “Cancer and Nutrition,” cow's milk stimulated the growth of prostate cancer cells, while almond milk suppressed prostate cancer cell growth. The same study found that soy milk increased growth rates of breast cancer cells, but almond milk did not affect breast cancer cell growth.''
And I got it from this website.

I drink whole milk because it kinda feels weird drinking nut milk.0
-
2% milk, but I'm not a milk fan and only use it on cereal or in scrambled eggs0

Whatever cow milk happens to be in the fridge, with various fat content.0

I have normal skim milk in my cereal, or if I am drinking a glass of milk with whatever I am eating. However, I put sweetened vanilla almond or sweetened vanilla coconut milk in my coffee instead of using coffee creamer. Normal coffee creamer has way too many calories, even the fat free or sugar free kind (I like my coffee very, very light) and normal milk in coffee just doesn't taste right. The sweetened vanilla almond or sweetened vanilla coconut makes me feel like I'm still having tasty creamer (it tastes very similar) but without the calorie overload.0

Soy is bad for the thyroid so I avoid it as much as possible (but I did drink tonnes of soy milk before I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's and I always wonder if it played some part in my problems). I can't abide cow's milk so I'll drink unsweetened almond or brown rice milk. They taste really good in smoothies and if you have rice milk with hot chocolate it tastes like chocolate rice pudding!0

Half n' half for my coffee or tea but I buy the kids organic, humanely treated, low pasterized (or raw), whole milk from one of the local dairies. I get goats' milk with the same specifications if I can get my hands on it.
I'm wary of almond milk because the unknown affects that pesticides have the bees that pollenate the blossoms in turn the nuts themselves. I'll make my own almond milk if I can from a trusted almond source.0 -
Skim but in my smoothies I LOVE coconut water! 3 bananas, mixed fruit and Coconut water...its Delish!0
-
I still drink plain old skim cow's milk. I just find it's more refreshing than almond milk, which I've tried, but couldn't make the switch to!0

2% or 1% milk0

2% organic cow milk. I do not drink much milk, and organic seems to have a longer shelf life.0

Breast milk.
Isnt' that were all milk comes from?
Nut milk isn't really milk per se.0 -
-
Whole milk for my coffee. Unsweetened vanilla almond for everything else.0

1% and I'll continue to drink it until A DOCTOR tells me not to.

I don't rink milk, its for babies, I drink beer!-1

Organic whole milk. I'm of the opinion that anything lower than 2% fat milk should be called a "milk product" instead of milk.
And concoctions that don't come from mammary glands are most definitely not and should not be called milk.
It's all marketing. Start calling almond milk what it is, which is almond water, and it loses its appeal. (It is mostly water, a few almonds per container, and optionally sugar and flavoring) Soy milk, rice milk, and coconut milk are the exact same model.-1 -
whole cows milk. pasteurized and homoginized
We lived overseas for awhile and were strongly encouraged to only buy the shelf stable UHT milk. So disgusting that I went three years without ever drinking a glass of milk, and only using enough to just moisten my cereal. So, so gross0
