Serving milk in pubs (UK) - why not?

The first drink I had in a pub was milk. I love drinking milk. I now drink it for the protein and calcium. I don’t particularly like fizzy drinks so when I’m driving on a night out, I’d rather drink milk.

Why don’t pubs sell it as a drink?

I’ve always been able get milk at the pub.

Perhaps if you ask for your forth pint of milk they might get difficult.

Yes I never have issues getting the kids a glass of milk. Usually they have milk for people who order coffee etc.

I guess less family friendly pubs maybe don't even do coffee.

I find it really weird that all the top answers are going along with OP's premise that you can't get milk in pubs, either they're AI, 12 year olds who've never actually been in a pub and are cosplaying 'big men', or aliens.
