Cow’s milk, mostly. But I do make my own soy milk from time to time, and sometimes I’ll guy rice milk.
But normally there’s no milk. I haven’t had milk of any kind in the house (unless you count some buttermilk in the freezer I intended to use last year) for a couple of months – and that was because I had a houseguest. Generally, I’ll buy some milk if I’m going to cook with it.
I went vegan for six years and used only soymilk. I used Silk, because I think it’s really good; it tastes milky instead of beany. I noticed that after years of becoming used to soymilk, cowmilk had that animaly smell and taste to it, recognizably similar to the smell of cow hides and leather shops. Soymilk by contrast tasted neutral. But then I took up cow milk again, and now it just tastes like the normal default again.
I’ve always thought of almond milk as a Sicilian treat. In Sicily they don’t actually drink cow milk; it’s unheard of. What little milk is produced there is for making cheese. But almond milk is a favorite beverage there. Almond milk was widely popular in Europe during the Middle Ages, but in recent centuries it’s been mostly limited to Sicily and southern Italy. Of course now the health food crowd has discovered it.
No milk for me. I do use flavored coffee creamer–which is kinda like fake flavored yuppie milk, I guess.
I drink skim milk, but I love regular whole milk as a once in awhile treat. I also love soy milk but unless it’s on sale I won’t buy it. Goats milk is good too, but it’s very expensive. Actually I like all the kind of “nut milk” or “grain milk”
Mostly rice milk, for on cereal. Occasionally I’ll buy skim milk, but I find that with the grocery stores available to me, it tends to be more expensive, since I absolutely refuse to use non-organic milk.
There is no such thing as soy/rice milk, 'cause plants got no titties.
I’m so ashamed…
We use regular ol’ 2% cow’s milk unless I get a craving for chocolate almond milk.
1% or fat-free for years and years and years…
Now one of us here claims “milk bad, almond milk good”, so I buy vanilla Almond Breeze. Expensive, and not as tasty as I thought it would be - watery and thick n’ gritty near the end of the carton. And don’t even think of trying to make macaroni and cheese with it!!! But, I can deal with it. I’ve made a lot of dietary changes in my life, this is just one more.
I remember as a child reading ‘Heidi’ and there was a description of goat milk, or goats milk cheese, that made it sound just heavenly! It sounded sweet and nutty tasting. Now I’ve had goats milk cheese which is OK, but not goats milk, which I see in the cooler in the health food section. I wonder if the milk IS good tasting?
Cows milk - 2% or 1% , whichever is cheaper that day.
Skim cow’s milk.
Cow, and soy.
Cow milk - Fat Free Organic from a local dairy, although once every couple of months or so we’ll get 2% or whole, mostly so we can eat the cream on top. 
My husband mostly uses it in cereal, and I’ll do the same occasionally, but for the most part, I don’t like milk.
And goat milk on occasion to make chevre.
I would be concerned for the males in your household drinking a lot of soy milk. There is no definitive proof either way but there should be some prudence consuming anything that mimics hormones.
I don’t know if almond milk provides the same benefit of raw almonds but it doesn’t taste bad at all.
1% cow milk for me, skim for Grandma…I’ve wanted to try the Almond Milk, but I can’t find single-serving containers to try first, and I don’t want to commit to a quart. I can’t afford expensive food mistakes.
I voted both cow and no. I rarely have milk at all. If I do, it is cow.
I drink about 3 glasses a year. So I drink cows milk. It settles my stomach. Soy is juice not milk. Same for rice and the others. Milk requires a female mammal not a plant.
I use soy milk because I can buy it cheap at Costco and keep it in my pantry rather than the fridge. I still cook with moo juice, but not often and buy it special for just those occasions.
I voted rice, but should have included soy as well…I use it for cooking (westbrau has a great, rather thick plain unsweetened organic soy milk which I make a MEAN veggie chowder with and also use for cream gravy for my awesome “chicken fried fake” recipe, using breaded Boca Burgers.
)
Anyway, I tend to avoid soy for everyday or excessive use and stick to Rice Dream vanilla enriched. (yes, the plant hormone issue is one reason, the other being that the flavor of rice milk is preferred by all around here)
Personally, I rarely use it, but the kids do…my son will sometimes drink it, but not often, and he uses it in his coffee (he’s 18) or on cereal. My daughter uses it on cereal but never drinks it.
Both were given human milk then weaned to a veggie diet in which drinking any form of milk wasn’t going on, so they never developed that craving for a tall glass of white stuff with cookies or PBand J. 
For a while way back when, I drank raw cow milk when I did drink any. I have to say that after having been raised on pasturized cow milk, there is NO comparrison! The flavor is incredible and after I stopped being able to get it, I stopped drinking cow milk because the watery, cooked taste of the pasturized stuff was revolting to me. Later, I gave it up altogether for other reasons, but hadn’t drunk it in years anyway.
Late edit: my daughter would never consider drinking milk, esp. cow, but she WILL drink the damned chocolate cow milk her school offers. (and I am unable to stop her from doing so since the school won’t/can’t due to federal food program rules) :mad:
I am going to start attending parent meetings this coming year just so I can raise this issue (of getting rid of the chocolate milk) which I already know quite a few parents agree with me on.
Not just that it is cow milk (which I prefer she NOT drink) but the second ingredient is corn syrup (which I also don’t want her drinking/eating) and it has as much sugar as soda pop.
I don’t expect them to offer vanilla or chocolate RICE or SOY milks, but for goodness sake, dump the candy-fied cow milk already! :smack:
Billy goats smell incredibly bad. I swore that I could smell the billies on the goat’s milk, even though nobody else seemed to be bothered by it. I’ve read that most dairy goat farmers keep the billies away from the nannies, unless it’s freshening time, but the DG farmers that we went to let the billies mingle with the nannies.
Some organic food stores will carry fresh goat’s milk, and I’ve seen it offered in cans in regular grocery stores, but most mainstream grocery stores don’t carry it at all.
