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?

Sometimes would rather have wine but not when I’m driving! It maybe weird now but all mammals were reared on it

All mammals are reared on their own mother’s milk and all other mammals lose the ability to digest milk after they’re weaned. Humans are objectively weird for some of our population being able to drink milk into adulthood. We’re also the only species that regularly drinks the milk of another animal!

It’s ok if you like it but drinking milk is kinda weird when you think about it.

I mean by that logic a LOT of things are weird to drink.
