I don't mean to make fun of you, but I find it amusing when people think of the expiration date on milk as some sort of deadline - like the milk is guaranteed to be good up until midnight of that date, but then it will instantly turn bad.
A friend of mine freaked out once when I drank milk that was past its expiration date. "Oh my god! You can't drink that, it expired TWO DAYS AGO!" She expected me to throw away perfectly good milk because of the date on the jug (which is only a guideline, after all.)
Years ago, I did once take a mouthful of milk that had spoiled. That is NOT a mistake I will make again. No matter what the date, I always sniff milk before I pour it. Even if I'm refilling my glass from ten minutes ago, I sniff the milk again.
