Hey luv2lft, beating off in the evening has been shown to be much more effective than beating off in the morning. Beating off in the evening has been known to drastically reduce muscle mass and cause horrible oily discharge and vomiting.

Milk protein mostly consists of casein, which is a very slow digesting protein. Theoretically mixing it with whey protein would slow down absorption of the whey.
I remember reading in an issue of MD however about a study where athletes just took whey protein and other athletes took a whey and casein. The athletes that took the mix gained more muscle. I doubt I even have the issue anymore as it was at least a year ago, but if I have time I'll look for it.
I always mix my protein powder with milk. It just tastes better and I use a lot less powder over time.

There have been a few articles in MD about how good it is to drink skim milk after you train. 2% really isn't that much different at all.

I mix mine with water normally and will buy flavours like Vanilla or cookies and cream so the taste is still good. At night though I always take my shakes with milk for that little slower absorption. I am not sure on the exact science but from what I have read over the years on the subject it brings to mind that it is better to have it with water after a workout and milk at night. Maybe Dave or John could shed some more light on the subject who knows. Would be a good question in Daves thread.

I don't drink milk at all, but even when I did, I used water for protein shakes. I am not into the breast milk meant for baby calves and all the wholesome extras, like puss, blood, rbst, igf-1 etc etc. yummy.

As Arnold said in Pumping Iron "milk is for babies"

if your poor and cant afford whey protein then drink milk, otherwise its not necessary....If you want more calories, just add more oatmeal or ANPB in your shake.
As for absorbtion, fat from milk can potentially slow down a bit of absorbtion, but so would the ANPB. Just stick to water...
