Milk or cider? State weighs in on drink

? Apples are getting some competition from cows in the debate over what New Hampshire’s state drink should be — cider or milk.

The House will weigh in this week when it votes on a bill designating apple cider as the state drink. A lawmaker introduced the bill after Jaffrey Grade School students contacted her. Later, Gilford Elementary School students lobbied for milk.

The House Environment and Agriculture Committee is split. Some members support cider; others propose killing the bill.
