Who fucking drinks milk when they go to a restaurant - are you 5?

Restaurants menus lacking milk as a drinking option is definitely a positive for me - I do not wish to dine alongside whatever freak chooses to drink milk with their meal.

😟 it's only a drink.

Cow boob juice is for baby cows. Human boob juice is for baby humans. Adults of any species should have developed past ingesting boob juice in childhood.

Come on dude. Don't tell me you've never drunk milk as an adult. Be honest lmfao

I mean I've known that I'm lactose intolerant since I was 13 or something and I had to be be bribed to drink it before that so, yeah, it wasn't hard to stay away from drinking straight milk into adulthood.

Learning this little factoid also helped immensely: Because of the mastitis epidemic in the U.S. dairy herd, the dairy industry continues to demand that American milk retain the highest allowable “somatic cell” concentration in the world. via: nutritionfacts.org, how much pus is there in milk?

also. drank. 🙂

I've never drank milk as an adult, and I honestly don't know if I can think of anyone I've ever known that has ordered milk alone (not in coffee or something) as an adult and drank it. I'm not white though, so idk. But a lot of my friends and coworkers are, and I've never seen it.

Unless it's in baking or coffee/drinks or cereal it's pretty fucking weird to drink it

Maybe acceptable with certain desserts tbh. But not with an actual meal

I stopped drinking milk when I left home and moved to college... 30+ years ago.

I don't think I'd really like giving up my present diet for the one that my hunter-gatherer ancestors were required by circumstance to eat.

And yet, the Mongols conquered Eurasia on it.

Yes, and milk was the singular reason they were able to. Turns out those Got Milk commercials had it right all along

I like this interpretation of history. I guess that means the Wright brothers were drinking Red Bull?

More seriously, they drank milk because they were pastoralists with a lot of it, and because it's something you can consume. Hell, they were even lactose intolerant; if you happen to be European or West African all the better. Not sure where this "it's for kids" idea comes from, maybe it's some kind of American cultural thing. (If you want to be really bio-deterministic, it's for babies, older children are in the same group as adults)

A glass of milk or sometimes a chai with milk will literally be my breakfast some days.

Milk rules.

We get it you're vegan.

Also most people are actually lactose-intolerant, the capability to retain production of lactase into adulthood is a mutation won through a lot of hardship and diarrhoea.

Side note Italy being blue explains why they have strange rules such as "no cappuccino after noon", it's not that it's bad or anything it's that many Italians can only stomach one, maybe two a day.

Why judge people over their choice of beverage?

Why can't we all drink (or eat or be...) whatever we please without derogatory comments being made? What kind of a low is that?

Seriously.

The oldest kind of low. It's sad, but you spot a bunch of humans, you can be sure that they are already judging you.

I'm gonna recognize that what I said came across way way more harsh than was intended, this was meant to be playful, as are my responses below - I seem to be learning that my tone and how I speak do not always translate well to being written - for this, I apologize. I do need to work on monitoring my snark levels.

I'd like to state - that you are more than welcome to drink or do what you want. I was attempting to razz op - not berate op... even though milk is straight up disgusting and I gag when people drink it by itself and I cannot understand why anyone would make that choice - it is their choice.

This is a me problem - not a them problem.

Have fun enjoying your gross animal juice everyone. I'll just sit over here with my water.

  • Criticizing alcohol consumption = you sleep

  • Criticizing milk consumption = real shit

Also, let people dislike things. If Criticism diminishes your own enjoyment of a thing then you don't actually like that thing

Me? I can't understand why this is such a weird thing to you people.

Me? I can't understand why this is such a weird thing to you people.

And yet you made this post which does the same thing re: alcohol consumption

Wine pairings with meals are a thing for a reason. Milk pairings, not so much

Because I've literally only known a single adult to opt into drinking milk and it was my 90 year old grandfather. Always thought it was super strange to like milk so much.

I once had to live with a guy that would go through 2-4 gallons in a week on his own and just let the empty jugs build up in (around) the recycle bin for weeks on end. Grew up on a dairy farm. Honestly I shouldn't have to say more to tell you he was a freak.

Haha wow, yeah that's pretty weird. I can't stand the taste of milk, but I feel like even if I could, like anything else, it would get sort of sickening in such large quantities

Cause milk is calorie rich, it would be too much with a meal. Or more likely because I never ever thought of the possibility.

I'm just saying if I see anyone not eating from the kids menu drinking milk with a meal I'm going to judge you. I'm judging all of Finland.

you’ve never had 3am Waffle House chocolate milk?

That's chocolate milk which is amazing at any time, the post implies plain white milk

I'm with them, it's one of the things I just used to drink at home, especially to get the choc to milk ratio right

My homie, if you have never had the glory that is milk with a cheeseburger, you're missing out.

Spaghetti? Bomb.

Burritos? Bomb

I can keep going, and even explain how and why various foods can be paired with milk and not only be as good as any other beverage, but can sometimes be better. It isn't every food, but it works often enough to be worth trying.

How does it feel to be so confident yet so so wrong?

How does it feel to be a jackass?

tone hard to convey online. sometimes sly sarcasm comes across as uber douche - apologies. Im glad you like milk - I think it's disgusting by itself.

In a similar train of thought, have you tried having (good) orange juice with Mexican food? I used to love having it once in a while when we brought home Rosa's. Never did at a restaurant. Not a complete heathen. 😁

why would you not? milk taste good mmmm

especially if i'm at a less fancy restaurant and i'm ordering a dish with mashed potatoes and gravy, milk is 100% the appropriate beverage.

Who fucking drinks milk when they go to a restaurant

Autism is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be ... unnatural
