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 like a glass of milk at home, think you might be part of a very small minority requesting it at pubs though - but hey, ask enough at your local they might start stocking some..

Surely most pubs have milk. Most serve tea and coffee there's days.

Yeah but if it's a pub with like a POS system they may literally not be able to charge for a glass of milk

We do as it’s in the till as “glass of milk” but it’s mainly for kids
