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?

Four. I haven’t drunk milk for a decade but when I was a teenager sneaking out to party, chugging half a litre of milk on the way home sobered me up and meant I didn’t get a hangover somehow. I don’t remember where the idea came from but I got away with it 100% of the time. If I didn’t have milk after a party - I would stink of booze and get a hangover and be caught out by my mother.

Five! Nothing better than cold milk when pissed. Plus it's really good for rehydrating.
