We both drink the fat-free variety, but I buy a separate half-gallon for myself that is lactose-free.
I go through about 2 gallons a week. I drink it at all meals I have at home and, of course with hot/cold cereal. The skim milk took some adjusting to when I started drinking it but I am used to it now. Great protein and calcium source and my body tolerates it now. I hate taking supplements, and with no reproductive system or HRT, I get all of the natural calcium that I can. They just did a bone-density scan 2 weeks ago and the results couldn't have been better This is one of the reasons I use so much no-fat dairy for protein, it helps in two ways.
