You can get sick if the milk is spoiled, makes sure you smell it first before tasting it carefully.

I regulary have this issue. We live in a very cold house...so milk takes a long time to go bad. Couple that with my g/f being quite thrifty and being less sensitive to food that is borderline "bad" than me and you get arguments.
Basically - the date stamps on food etc serve two purposes. Firstly as a guide to plan how long they will last and be useable and secondly to cover companies backsides in a legal sense; it means folks cant sue from getting ill if they consumed something after the marked date.
However - these dates are produced by testing under "average" conditions. If your milk is kept sealed in a fridge that is close to freezing point it will stay safely drinkable well past the marked date. I've drunk milk up to two weeks after the marked date when its been kept as such. Just use common sense...if it smells or tastes bad - dont drink it!

Milk should be good for 7 days past the printed expiration date. That's a sell by date for the grocer. If it smells sour, don't drink it though because it could make you sick to your stomach.

1 day... lol! I'm was thinking as in chunky expired milk. Nevermind. You're fine. As someone said earlier. It's just a guideline.

Not much. The reason expired milk exists it to turn it into other products. Cottage cheese, cheese, yogurt, sour cream whatever. (Did you think they just threw it a way?)

usually you just get an upset stomach which can be cured by elka seltzer.
Sometimes nothing happens. I drank milk today that had a date of the 19th on it, it smelled fine and I drank it and I feel fine too.

the expiration date is usually set for a couple of days later than it says, one day wont hurt

if it is expired for ONLY a day, thats not too bad. if its over 3 or 4 days though, you could get really sick.
