What did humans drink before we started drinking milk from cows?!


Question:

What did humans drink before we started drinking milk from cows?

What if that never caught on? Would be have the best little milk house in Texas? Would women as little girls dream to be milkers when they grew up? How much would it pay? How much per gallon would it cost?

humans drank breast milk, goat milk, buffalo milk before they drank milk from cows.

water

Urine

I think they first drank goat milk before they starting drinking cow milk, which is why some people to this day are still lactose intolerant.

water, but milk, there are goats and there are mommys

water =] or maybe just alcohol!! WOO HOO!

Ale

Support Your Local Dairy Farmers!!

I would think that before we drank milk from the cows, we drank a lot of water and fruit juices. If it never was discovered, I imagine that you would have the best dairy farm in the world and a gallon of milk would cost more than a gallon of gas.

Well, there's goats milk, cocoanut milk, and wine. I've also heard of horse milk. I imagine the price would be high, $9-$15 a gallon? In third world counrties, a lot of teas, and fruit drinks, but water usually is bad. Okay...stay away from bull's milk....lol.

Mead

thats a really good question. i guess they just stuck with water.

Another dumbas$, I cant believe how stupid some of these ppl that post questions on here are

we could have drunk goats milk yuck its revolting.

I would think that over the course of years, across the world, people have drank milk from just about any animal that was lactating and could be controlled enough to milk. Its the staff of life for newborn creatures so I'm sure its a wide open answer.

water and some sort of alcohol product like mead

Goats milk.
