Comment on Lots of times the restaurants won't even have milk

  Might also depend on where you are. I understand that in Finland, it’s extremely common to drink milk all the time, whereas in East Asia, where adult lactose intolerance is the norm, adult milk consumption isn’t really a thing.

  Yeah, Finland’s #1.

  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

  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.

  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

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