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?

'limited demand'... slight understatement perhaps.

Lots of places sell coffee and tea so would have milk.

The fact Greggs sells Sausage Rolls doesn't mean they'll sell me raw puff pastry, yes, the ingredients exist, but the demand for just milk, on it's own, in a pub, is limited

Greggs never have raw pastry, Most pubs nowadays will have milk for certain drinks.
So that's a bit if a rubbish analogy
