First, you could try smelling it. It would smell bad if the milk is bad. Second, you could look in the milk, and if you see white, floating specks just floating around the top of the milk, then that is a sign it is bad. No white floating specks means that the milk is good to drink. Third, you could also look at the 'sell by' or expiration date on the carton, and either is the last day that milk could be drunk.

Smell it, if it doesn't smell sour its good. Milk usually lasts a week after its expiration date.

Take a sniff. If it smells old and stale then it is. Also try checking the best before date on the bottle. Or there is always taking a little sip first.
