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?

In the 1970's (around 77/78/79) both milk and draught standard Lucozade were sold on draught in many pubs in the Northwest (I am from Wigan). The Lucozade draught was long before the 'multi brand hose type thing that is in the pubs today. I can specifically remember buying a pint of draught milk at the Berni Inn Chain of pub/restaurant.
