Can you drink TOO MUCH milk?

stfu and drink milk. i drink at least 1.5L of full cream milk a day.

every 1L of milk usually has 32g's of protein.

 

Too much of a good thing is a bad thing. Keep it a balance one.

 

rofl title made me laugh

 

I drink 2-3 cups a day and I'm fine.

 

I drink about 3lt of milk a day, everyday. Not just that, Jersey milk, 5% fat and creamy. Basically doing this to get back into my rugby form I had before I went to university and lost it all.

Milk is quite good for you in dosage. But do realise that a lot of milk has sugar in it, and if you're drinking it in high quantities it can be quite an intake. My 3lt gives me about 200g of sugar a day. I don't take in a lot of sugar any other way, so I'm usually fine. But watch out for that.

I've heard people saying calcium overdose, which I wouldn't worry about as you would need a good 8-10 cups to even get toward mild milk-alkali syndrome, which is a term used for excess calcium which can ironically lead to bone fractures and kidney stones. This would need to be done daily for quite some while.

 

yeah haven't you seen those videos of people trying to drink a gallon of milk in an hour?

 

milk? ... not sure ... but give me beer ... and ill drink you nonstop )

 

I see nothing wrong with drinking a lot of milk, but damn bro.. you drink a bit too much :|

 

Keep it balanced, if you are only drinking milk and not much water, that's bad.

 

I drink a carton a day of semi skimmed milk, No problems at all. If anything makes me bones stronger and my teeth healthier.

 

yes you do,

its been proven, that if you drink more then 3 glasses a day you can get cancer.

 

You just throw up after a while. Sucks tho.

 

I generally have 8-10 glasses a day. I do a lot of sports/exercise so I don't really find anything wrong with it, though people do make fun of my love of milk quite a bit

 

probably

 

You're gonna get chubby if you drink too much milk lol.

 

No. I drink 1-3liter milk a day mixed with nesquick. It's delicious. And I'm veeerrryyy skinny . It just depends on the person really..
EDIT: only negative effect I get from so much milk (it's more the nesquick really) is that I sometimes get an acne boost. 95% of my acne disappears when I stop drinking it for 2-3 weeks though.
Damn I've a weird body lol

 

So long as you're staying active you'll be fine. There's not enough concentration of any nutrients in milk to cause an "overdose" from 5 glasses a day, though it is possible to get sick from eating too much of... well anything, really. The only thing you should be worried about is, again, staying active because there's a very high content of fat and lactose (sugar) in milk. So if you're not burning it off somehow, your body will store the excess and you could have all sorts of complications: acne from the sugar, body fat from the milk (if it's not fat-free of course), etc.

EDIT: also, you should be aware that over-exposure to common allergens can cause you to develop an allergy to it. For example, I was never allergic to cats until I started living with my dad and his nasty ass cat, and now my eyes puff up like big red balloons when I pet cats. I don't know how common this is, but you could end up developing lactose intolerance (meaning you'll get super gassy and have really bad digestion if you drink it)... my sister loved milk, and she drank a TON during her pregnancy, and now both her and her baby are lactose intolerant.

 

Everything in excess is bad, even water.

 

Milk is actually a common food allergen in most people. Yes, you're not as "lactose intolerant" as someone who actually has the medical condition, but almost everybody has their immune systems activated when they consume dairy of any kind. Because of this, health nuts consider milk to be a toxin. It has been linked to cancer, lack of energy, decreased immune activity, etc.

 

Haha this.

In all seriousness, as long as you aren't chugging it in one go, there's nothing wrong with spanning out 5 glasses of milk a day.
