Drinking Milk faster than formula??

So, yesterday we started giving DS whole milk (he's almost 1 year so instead of buying more formula, we choose to give whole milk during the day). No reaction, DS LOVES it. In fact he drinks it crazy fast. Is this normal for babies to drink whole milk a lot faster? He would have about 4 6oz bottles of formula. He could go for more milk if I gave it to him. Should I?

Also, he doesn't go for plain water in the bottle but will have it flavored a little by juice from a sippy. Anyway I can get him to like plain water?

Thanks

see, luckily just the week DS started really drinking from his sippies (mainly nuby & munkin ones). I fill it about 2/3 with water and about 1/3 juice. If I do just water, he'll suck on it, but not drink it.

I just don't want him to turn into a milk nut.
