To love drinking milk as an adult

[Kendaland]

It’s bloody lovely

cannot be beaten as far as I’m concerned and I drinks pints of the stuff

my friends all find it weird and infantile

who is BU?

I love milk. Perfect breakfast when I’m not feeling hungry.

Don't ask me why but the only time I have milk as a drink is with an oven pizza. For some reason they go really well together and if I have pizza I really crave a cold glass of milk with it. Probably a childhood habit!

Nothing wrong with that at all. Good source of protein and calcium.
I don't think it's childish either

I live in the US, and lots, perhaps most, adults drink milk. It's very normal.

Filet o fish and cold milk from Macdonalds… food of the gods😃

60% of adults are unable to digest the lactase according to Google.

I saw that thread too , one person said that the think a a adult male drinking milk would really put her off him.

Ha! I'm going to have to stop reading this thread. The milk talk is making me feel sick 😂

I absolutely love milk and also cocoa. I've trained myself to like it without sugar. I'll sometimes have it instead of a meal if I'm not that hungry.

YANBU.
I cant as it doesn't agree with me at all, but I would if I could.

I love milk. Ice cold preferably.
I'm not sure why it's not ok to drink milk but fine to consume giant lattes, have a bowl of cereal with milk or porridge for breakfast etc 🤷‍♀️

YANBU at all. It's what you like!

I hate milk ... reminiscent of my primary school days when we got a carton of milk each day & had to drink it no matter what.

It was always lukewarm & I hated it. Occasionally it was really cold & that was ok but I never liked drinking milk after that.

Funnily enough I don't drink tea or coffee o my hot chocolate (when I'm out) - and it must be scaldingly hot & only from particular coffee shops.

A previous boyfriend, when I was at university, used to order a pint glass of milk when we were in a restaurant. I used to be mortified.

Heaven to me is a glass of cold full fat milk and some choc chip cookies.

Sadly I'm dieting so can't have either 😞

I love a glass of milk

60% of adults are unable to digest the lactase according to Google.

It varies by country/ethnicity. Approximately 95% of Northern and Central Europeans are lactose tolerant.

Read some info on that organisation - it's not a credible source, despite the believable name.

Here's a better and much more balanced article

I can’t think of a worse drink although I never liked milk beyond toddler age.

I don’t even have it in tea or coffee. PIL’s are always aghast when they come and we don’t have a six pint bottle in the fridge for making disgustingly weak tea every half hour.

Milk and cream really don’t agree with my stomach either although strangely I can tolerate cheese and ice cream.

I won’t preach about how wrong cows milk is as I’m sure you are aware how vile it is

some studies have linked milk to breast cancer as milk is designed to make baby mammals grow very fast which can trigger cancer due to growth hormone

Completely incorrect.

Love it!

I love milk! I have a glass with my breakfast every morning and often if I'm eating some sort of sandwich, I find it the perfect accompaniment. It has to be properly cold though, room temp (or warm) milk is not for me.

I love milk with a pain au chocolat.

But like you I'm also dieting so can't have either.
