The milk has gone bad!

You mean you don't sniff the bottle before you drink out of it?
I always do, even if it's supposedly not ready to expire...

I can almost never get through a container of milk before it goes sour, unfortunately.
And the expiration date applies to shelf life in the store; once you open it, all bets are off.

Well, yes, but it usually last a lot longer than...um...a day.And the expiration date applies to shelf life in the store; once you open it, all bets are off.
I go through about 4 gallons a week. I don't give milk a chance to go bad.

Then the culprit, I have to think, is a handling issue - either yours or someone else in the supply chain. Because no, it ought not go bad one day after the sell-by date, or for that matter several days after the sell-by date. It's supposed to be sold before then, not consumed.
Good luck getting the store to agree, though. If it were before the sell-by date, they would give you your money back (at least they did the couple of times that happened to me), but after? Probably not.
But how could it not smell at least a little bit off? I don't get that at all.
The Sell-By Date is tomorrow! That's what's bothering me about this. I opened it yesterday, and it's already bad.Well, yes, but it usually last a lot longer than...um...a day.And the expiration date applies to shelf life in the store; once you open it, all bets are off.

As for the smell, I don't know. It smells like normal milk, but it tastes awful. Maybe the cow who made it didn't know what it was doing.
^ But how can that be? I'm sure she was out standing in her field! (rimshot) (Or at least in the dairy barn.)
You should definitely be able to get your money back if the sell-by date hasn't passed. It seems to me you have a few other things you need to worry about right at the moment though, yes? But you could.
The only reason I can think of why it hasn't started to smell is that it must be just barely starting to turn. I remember that did happen to me once, only I didn't drink it out of a glass, I used it to make cream of tomato soup. And it was vile.

If it went bad before the ED your fridge might not be running cold enough, turn the knob down a notch.
Ive accidently gotten a mouthful sour milk before. The milk I buy tends to go bad before the ED often. I also once bit a piece of provolone cheese that also had gone sour. One of the most disgusting things Ive ever tasted. I had to brush my teeth after.
I am 90% Vegan, more by taste than conviction. Eggs and milk just don't have their appeal to me. The only time I buy them is when I want something that uses them as an ingredient.
In any case, milk and eggs CAN taste good; but as a child, my mother had a nasty habit of making me eat these wet, poorly cooked watery scrambled eggs with milk added to them that tasted TERRIBLE, had a texture that was even worse, and made me gag. The experience played an integral part in forming my lifelong distaste for said substances.
