How long can I drink milk before it expires?
<|assistant|>
You can drink milk before it expires as long as you store it properly and remember to use it within a few days of opening. Generally, it is recommended to use milk within 5 days of opening it. To prevent spoilage, milk should be stored in a cool, dark place and away from extreme temperatures. It's best to check the expiration date stamped on the carton to make sure the milk has not yet gone off. Additionally, shake the carton before use and avoid transferring it to another container, since this can speed up spoilage. Milk that has already gone sour should not be consumed.
