(Have I) got milk?

I bought some groceries yesterday and put them away when I came home. That is, everything except the milk. I'm not sure how I missed it, but when I awoke the next morning there it was starring me in the face. I put it in the refrigerator right away, but I'm not sure if it's good anymore.
Conditions:
Left on cool counter out of sunlight. Most of my house is cold enough to warrant a light jacket or blanket.
Jug is unopened.
1% if that matters.
Left out 8-12 hours (I can't remember exactly how long)
If I drink it, will I get sick?

they wouldn't sell it if they'd done just that, so you probably shouldn't drink it.
In other words, for the cost of a new jug of milk, don't bother suffering through a whole container of sour stuff.
it shouldn't ruin the milk, though it will reduce the lifetime of it.
always smell the milk when you open it and you should be fine. you'll be able to tell when it's sour
Basically, your milk will probably just go bad a day or two quicker than normal.
Pasteurised milk is unlikely to go sour as the lactic acid bacteria are readily killed by pasteurisation. Instead, others will predominate and likely cause the milk to spoil.
I would drink it happily enough, but its lifespan will be much reduced.
Otherwise you are fine.
I've never chanced it that long. Unusually cold fridge?
In terms of karma - it hadn't killed anyone...yet.
Just give it the sniff test.
any animal product that doesn't go off within a week can no longer be classed as food, to my mind. On the upside, you've got a 50-50 chance of it either giving you cancer or superpowers.
Possibly the same reason he's checking to see whether he can still drink milk he left out all night rather than just going out and frivolously buying a new carton.
Can't sleep. Milk will eat me.
The reason my house is so cold is I only heat my bedroom. The time I spend in the rest of the house is minimal. Also, for some reason when they built this house, all of the heating in the main areas comes from the inside ceiling via heating coils (I guess the didn't know heat rises). So, in order to heat the living room, kitchen, etc. you have to crank up the heat to a ridiculous setting and my electricity bill is subsequently raped. Much more efficient to use a space heater when I spend time out of the bedroom as a makeshift fireplace.
