Official State Beverage of Wisconsin

Milk was designated the official state beverage of Wisconsin in 1987 (the state's official slogan is "America's Dairyland").

Milk is represented on Wisconsin's state quarter which features a round of cheese and a dairy cow. In fact, the dairy cow is also a symbol of Wisconsin, designated the official state domesticated animal in 1971.
Milk has been called a nearly perfect food - a source of protein, calcium, and several other important nutrients.
Each dairy cow produces about 6.5 gallons of milk per day. Less than half of this milk is consumed as a beverage - the rest is used for butter, cheese, ice cream, milk powder and other processed products.
