Can you drink TOO MUCH milk?

I'm drinking about 5 glasses per day on average. Is this too much?
If it isn't, how much exactly is too much? Are there any side effects/problems that could arise from milk overdose?

 

Lol not sure if serious question..but milk has fat in it could cause acne.Too much of anything is bad for you calcium overdose maybe?Do you just love milk that much?I'd drink about one cup a day you might have a calcium problem going on.

sounds like alot of milk, might want to cut down.

 

I tried to do milk challenge (3L) with my friends. We failed it, we only managed to drank about 1.5L of milk :L

 

My stomic gets sick if I drink over 0.5L of milk :s

 

then i vomited badly lol. it was green ahah

 

There's nothing wrong with drinking 5 cups of milk a day, its actually really good for you. Just dont drink them at the same time

 

Is it skim, 1%, 2%, etc.?

 

Not sure if milk can be dangerous.. You can drink as much as you want just be careful how much fat % in there.

 

If you're lactose-intolerant you shouldn't drink any.

 

It's better to drink a lot of water, milk isn't completely healthy. It just has a lot of calcium.

 

Well if your not afraid of getting sick then by all means, drink as much milk as you want.

 

are you drinking so you get taller? but 5 times seems too much, put it to 3

 

Lol "milk overdose."

I don't think you can really drink so much milk that it would have extremely harmful effects on your body.. it would be the same effect as over indulging in any kind of food or drink. Milk has alot of fat and alot of calcium in it though, so if you drank ridiculous amounts of it then its possible you could gain alot of weight or have calcium deposits build up in your body, which might lead to things like kidney stones. I am not a doctor though so who knows.

 

Some would even argue that cow milk shouldn't be consumed at all.

 

As far as any health problems you might create from drinking to much, no, drinking too much milk can't do you any harm. BUT if you are trying to watch your calories or if you are in any way trying to skim down, try to cut it down to 2-3 cups of milk a day, more like 1 per meal. If weight does not concern you then you should be fine.

 

Milk causes phlegm to be thicker, when you have a cold or something similar you'll know about it.

You can also have 'calcium overdose'.

 

I drink nearly a gallon of 2% per day and the only side effect I've noticed is never breaking a bone.

 

Yeah you can but 5 glasses probably won't hurt you.

Just one thing I've noticed about milk: humans are the only ones who drink it after emerging out of infant-hood.

 

A woman died in a contest to see who can drink the most water for a Nintendo Wii or some stupid ass console.
