It is generally safe to drink milk 2 days after the expiration date, provided it has been stored properly and shows no signs of spoilage such as sour smell, off taste, or unusual texture. Unopened milk often remains good for 5 to 7 days past the printed date, while opened milk lasts about 2 to 3 days beyond the expiration date. The expiration date on milk mostly indicates quality rather than safety, so checking the milk's smell and appearance is the best way to determine if it is still good to drink.
