In many homes it is an issue whether it is okay to drink directly from the milk package. But the fact is that 22 percent of the Swedes do drink from the package once in a while. Double as many men than woman.

Among men, almost 30 percent stated that they drink milk directly from the package. Two percent in the group 55+ stated that they sometimes take a sip, among the younger ones, aged 15-34, the number was 10 percent.
