Is it normal to not drink milk?

I don't drink milk when it's just milk. I'm not lactose intolerant or anything either. I just don't like milk.

    Honestly, I can't see myself legitimately just pouring a glass of milk since I'm "thirsty". Seems unnatural.

    If I were to see someone ordering food at a restaurant and ask for "a glass of milk, please", I'd probably judge - not gonna lie.

    Now, chocolate milk is a different story.

      If I found a nice restaurant that served chocolate milk I don't think I'd ever leave

        Chocolate milk is the bomb - I don't blame you.

    I don't drink it because I try to not to support the dairy industry. I grew up on a farm and when I left home I pretty much quit drinkng milk. I'm not even clear on whether milk is beneficial to health but in any case I just eat other calcium rich foods.

    Normal. We all have different tastes. Don't drink it if you don't like it. There's other ways to get calcium like supplements or calcium rich foods.

      Once you are an adult you really don't need a lot of calcium.

        What about osteoporosis? We also need vitamin B to absorb calcium: I was amazed to find that when tested I was low in it even though I'm an outdoors person and would've thought I got plenty of sun.

        The source of the calcium is another matter: cows milk is for calves, not humans

          I did say a lot, not any.

          I think you mean vitamin D.

            You're right [- damn cataracts, sometimes I don't pick up typo's even when I check carefully

    I'm with you on this one! I went to a boarding school in France that served us raw milk in our coffee, which would curdle and become chunks in the cup.
    Never could handle milk after that.

      Wouldn't that be because it wasn't homogenised so it still had undissolved cream in it? My family used to fight over "top of the milk" when it came in bottles.

        Yeah, you've got that right, but this wasn't even bottled, just straight from the cow.

          That's my favourite sort of milk but I haven't drunk it since I used to milk the cow myself: I used to love a big glass of it still warm from the milking bucket every morning, a reward for having got out of bed while it was still dark and doing hard physical work first thing in the morning .... aah, those were the days

            Well, that's the wonderful diversity of human beings. I'd die, or tell all the secrets of the CIA and NSA, before I'd drink any milk again, let alone raw raw milk.
            You want to know where Osama bin Laden is really hiding? Just put a glass of milk in the room.

              Now I'm REALLY fascinated: so you know CIA and NASA secrets?

              I'm sure there's some erudite meaning in the second paragraph but buggered if I can work it out ....

      For me, my dad forced me to drink a huge glass of expired milk, and I hated it. I don't think he knew it was expired, but I did, and it tasted so gross.
