Oh you're going to like rum cake!
(Well not like, real rum cake. I mean like dipping your cake in a glass of rum, Oreo style)

Gotta be honest here, I'd rather hang out with drunks than a bunch of milk chugging tea totalers.
Then, I rekon I'd say. "Welly, welly, welly, welly, welly, welly, well. To what do I owe the extreme pleasure of this surprising visit?"
I'm lactose intolerant so I don't go around in public drinking glasses of milk.
I'm also a recovering alcoholic so I also don't go around public drinking alcohol.
Not drinking anymore has allowed me to travel the world to five continents, 40 countries, multiple cruises and meet people from all over the world. It's amazing how much money and time you save when you stop drinking, smoking and drugging. It also allowed me to run a small business fixing building repairing houses for over 30 years and save enough money and time and energy to own my own house, multiple vehicles and two other recreational properties.
I still drink milk sometimes though ... just not in public because it makes me fart.

Aye good for you friend! Rereading my comment I realize it probably came off as criticizing your sobriety, so I just wanna clarify I didn't mean that at all! It was just supposed to be a weird joke, like, 'what on earth do you do if not walk around in public all day drinking milk/alcohol?'
But that's fuckin baller, I'm glad you're enjoying your life, it sounds awesome! (And I feel you, I'm lactose intolerant too, so most dairy consumption is done in private XD)
I probably did come off defensive and my apologies as well for any bad feelings .... man I love this community ... thanks for clarifying ... I don't who did right or wrong (or even if anyone did or not) ... all I know is that you made me feel good and I think that's all that matters ... I'll raise a glass of milk to you (I don't think you'll want to sit next to me tho)
Thats dope, man, congrats. On the sobriety, not the farting. Im approaching 1yr sober and Ive noticed massive improvements in the quality of my life and my bank balance.
I'm amazed by family members, friends, and coworkers that smoke like chimneys. I ask them how much their pack a day habit costs and I'm floored. Even the lower tax native smokes are not cheap.
Then throw in the booze and drugs it's no wonder why they can't afford a lot of basic things. I have a addictive personality at times but thankfully I'm too cheap for those things and would rather travel, own the toys, vehicles etc.
I do have an addiction to sweets and ice cream which gives me the same gas issues.
It's an addiction so the cost is, if not irrelevant, but a mere nuisance. Not a deal breaker in any case.
Drinking milk in public - weird.
Drinking a milk and frozen cream smoothie in public - perfectly normal.
I recently stopped drinking, just kind of organically. I cut down to help cut some calories and ended up stopping altogether.
The pressure is weird at any sort of event. I declined some champagne that was being passed around and the response was "why not? It's free!"
I can't drink alcohol for medical reasons. It interacts badly with one of my prescriptions. It's really weird how often I have to tell people about it. Nobody really pressures me after I say "medical reasons", of course... but I'm very familiar with that confusion people get.
For me it's basically the same reason I don't drink soda. And yet no one questions me when I have an iced tea instead of a soda, but not drinking alcohol requires an explanation.
You know what I hate? In the rare times I order tea at a restaurant (they never boil the water, so it's almost always weak), I ask for milk instead of cream and the waiter looks at me like I asked for some sugar to put on my steak.
Tea with milk is the best thing ever. Everybody always looks at me weird when I put milk in my tea. They're just missing out, to be honest.
The worst part is that one of my friends doesn't mind putting milk in Pepsi but has the audacity to look at me funny when I put milk in tea.
I've made this mistake when visiting US customers. Tea is not as common in Canada as coffee but it's still much more common than Coke with your breakfast. Most place carry regular and herbal teas, even coffee shops.
I sometimes forget when going for a business lunch and order tea in some US restaurants. One time they brought out the old school full size tea pot for 6. Mr Belvedere would have been proud. The milk was a bit of a juggle for them too versus cream in those little plastic cups.
Now I just stick with coffee or ice tea when south.
I really do not like coffee, but I will tolerate iced tea (can't say I love it either). I don't like soft drinks, so it's pretty much iced tea or water for me if I go out.
I love both but I grew up guzzling coffee during the day, then our grandparents would serve us orange pekoe tea with dinner to calm us down. This was after spiking our coffee with sugar cubes and condensed milk which is like liquid sugar. I'm amazed we ever slept. At least the caffeine kept us up through the sugar crashes.
I use to drink a lot of pop/soda too. Root Beer was my choice. These days it's usually water and mostly ice tea if it's not water. In my parts tea is sweetened so it's my adult pop but I try to avoid it. I've consumed enough sugar for several lifetimes already.
sonetimes I stop and get a single serving bottle of milk at the store to drink on my walk home from work and always feel weird if people see me drinking it... guess now I know I'm not the only one.
For awhile chocolate milk was a big thing post workout at the gym. I never wanted to chug milk most of the time let alone chocolate milk after a workout. Water is just fine thanks
This post reminded me how much I cut back on alcohol. This year, I have been drinking 3 times, on my b-day, visiting a friend and once when a friend was over. I'm a mental wreck (clinical depression) so I cannot say I'm feeling better. Maybe I would feel worse if I drank more tho.
Lactose intolerance leaves me with only buttermilk or plant-based products. Although I still eat cheeses when I feel okay to spend half an hour on the toilet.
Wouldn't expect any strange looks so long as it is on the menu. The number of places that sell chocolate chip cookies, brownies, 9 laters of chocolate cake cake etc isn't 0. I'm an alcoholic but I actually would look at someone who ordered a cocktail at a restaurant more strangely with how they get priced. If someone said you can get a giant brownie with ice cream chocolate fudge topped with peanuts and a glass of milk, or a martini and the martini will cost more... I'll take the milk. Maybe I'm not doing the alcoholism thing right.
alcohol withers your body so much, maybe you don't feel it now, but maybe one day you will wake up looking 20y older than you supposed to be. maybe it sounds harsh, but thas what i fear the most. Thats why i rarely go out - all my friends i know keep drinking, and without participating in it there's really not much to do. I take drinks now or then, but getting shit faced and spending whole Saturday hangover seems kind waste of free time. Fuck milk tho.
Is expressing a reasonable concern that they have difficulty socialising without doing activities they don't enjoy which have health consequences they want to avoid actually something that deserves that comment?
I'm sorry why are people accepting the premise that it's weird to drink milk in public? Seems made up.
