Milk is good for you.... Just probably not in that higher quantity.

I'd say 2 glasses a day.

Substitute the rest of it with some water.
 
^completely irrelevant? But as zerker said I could imagine this leading to calcium deposits and a possible weight gain. Instead of drinking 5 glasses a day, drink say 2 and some juice to get other vitamins and water for..well hydration ;)
 
I don't see the need in drinking that much unless your really skinny and trying to bulk up, even then as stated above, too much of anything even if it's good is bad for you. Two words my friend, balanced diet.
 
No need to drink 5 glasses of milk a day, too much of anything is bad for anyone.
Keep it to 1 - 3 glasses max per day, anymore is kind of unneccessary.
 
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.

Not unless you're prone to acne, really. And the amount of fat in the milk depends on the type of milk you drink. Most things have fat in it these days anyways.

As far as calcium goes, I don't think you can get a calcium overdose that easily. A lot of people think that drinking too much milk can create kidney stones. This is mostly false. If I remember correctly, calcium that comes from milk is the best source of calcium, and will rarely cause kidney stones (if they do, it's mostly attributed to other health factors such as red meats, colas, smoking, etc). Drinking milk is really the best source of calcium you can get. Do not take calcium supplements. Calcium supplements have been known to create kidney stones, so avoid them.

Either way, just to be on the safe side, I'd cut back to 3 glasses per day.
 
I guess it can be bad if you drink too much, a few glasses a day should be fine.

You should be fine. Nothing will hurt you unless you drink too much at once. Fat in milk can be a problem if you are dieting or something however.
 
It is a good idea to have some milk before going to sleep. If you eat too much first, you'd better not take too much milk.

Well, when young girls drink a lot of milk it causes their breasts to develop early and can lead to larger breasts later on.
 
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.

too much milk can cause kidney stones, I am not sure how much exactly though, but it has to be a lot. I remember a while back there was a big debate where one research group said it didn't and one said it did.
 
too much of anything is bad for you, you need to balance everything out in your body, but I mean 4-6 glasses a day is fine, wouldn't suggest it being whole though.
