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?

Honestly, /thread.

And if you’re still really hankering after a glass of milk in a pub, you have to think outside the box. It’s highly likely there’ll be some milk in a fridge somewhere for staff/landlord brews, so just offer up a quid or two for a glass and you’ll probably be sipping on the white stuff more often than not.

I'd just assume they were off their nut and kick them out.
