Do adult Americans really drink milk sometimes?!


Question: Do adult Americans really drink milk sometimes!?
In the UK it's pretty rare to drink milk unless you're a child (yes, I'll probably get the few exceptions posting on here now saying otherwise, but generally it's true!)!. But I get the impression it's more normal in the US!? Milk and cookies, that sort of thing!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
I'm allergic to milk protein (Caesin) so the idea revolts me, but in this I am like the majority of people in Asia and Africa!. The human body was designed to digest milk during childhood, but not much after age seven!. Offering a glass of milk to someone from Japan, for instance, would be like offering them a nice, tall, chilled glass of saliva!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yeah its definitely normal here!. Here itsnt normal if you dont drink
milk, unless of course you dont like the taste!. lol I probably drink
a gallon of milk myself in a week and thats not a lot compared to
the rest of my family!. Im only talking about everyone over 18!.
Milk and cookies is completely normal too!. lol =] Almost everyone
drinks milk unless your lactose intolerant or a few just dont like the
taste!. But its normal!. lol Completely normal!. =]Www@FoodAQ@Com

I love milk!

I have two glasses of semi skimmed mik every morning as part of my breakfast (along with an apple and a banana) and a glass of full fat at night before I go to bed (which is great for helping you sleep and also filling)!.

My friends think that I'm weird but I love it!.

It tastes great and is sooooo good for you!. It also helps me keep my weight in check - if I'm feeling hungry or peckish, instead of snacking I have a glass of milk and it fills me up in less than 50 calories a glass!. My nails are really strong, and rarely break, my skin is in great condition, my figure is fab and I rarely get ill - I put part of that do to my milk habit!

Thats so interesting, I did not know that but yes here milk is regular drink, not just with cookies lol!. I was raised drinking milk with every meal unless it was pizza!. Although I have to drink soy milk but it helps prevent osteoperosis and keeps your teeth and bones strong and healthy!. Both of my parents drink milk as well and have been doing so all their life!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

A pint before going out on the beer is something I've been doing for years!. For some reason it makes me less likely to get a hangover!.

Oh, by the way, big sweeping statements like 'in the UK it's pretty rare!.!.!.' are not advisable on here, as some smart @rse will point out that you don't have any evidence to back up your statement aside from your own experience!.!.!. which is highly unlikely to be enough!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I usually drink at least a glass a day, but only organic type!. Just feels safer, what with everything they're pumping into cows these days!. My SO loves a glass with pasta and tomato sauce - the low acidity of the milk helps counteract the high acidity of the tomatoes, making the whole thing settle nicer in the stomach!.

Learn something new every day! I had no idea UK-ers weren't keen on milk after a certain age!. Interesting cultural differences, eh!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

that is cods wallop i drink milk and im an adult my favourite alcoholic drink is a White Russian its milk tea-Maria and vodka its absolutely the best cocktail i ever tasted and I hate the taste of beer i much prefer red wine if i do drink beer its usually murphy's stout or caffereys bitter they are very creamy and heavy so I drink Whit Russians to line my gut after a good drink and most nights I drink hot milk with a drop of brandy or whisky to help me sleepWww@FoodAQ@Com

You have some odd acquaintances if the don't drink milk!.

ever heard of milkshakes or supermarkets selling a white substance!?

or are you talking about human breast milk!? Ovaltine and horlicks are all milk based hot drinks and many people try those, milkshakes and milk are cold milk drinks often used by many!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes! All the time!. I especially love it with any type of cookies!. Its also good with donuts!. People also add milk alot to oatmeal, cream of wheat, grits, rice with cinnamon and sugar!. Cereal with lots of milk is also popular and chocolate milk and strawberry milk!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

I drink milk every day and have all my life - I am 51 - and my parents still drink milk with dinner every night!. I grew up drinking milk with breakfast, lunch and dinner and it is great with cookies, cake, pie, doughnuts, coffee cake, etc!.

The only reason adults in the UK dont like it is because we remember the days when we were forced to drink warm school milk, there was always one kid that threw up and the smell of sour milk stays with you for the rest of your life!Www@FoodAQ@Com
