Does anyone not like milk?
43 Answers
Ethical reasons aside. Does anyone dislike the taste of milk? I have never had too much milk, or get bored of milk, or met anyone who doesn't like it.

66 years I have hated milk.Well I suppose I enjoyed my bottle of formula milk as a baby but eversince UGH""I could never drink the free milk at school hated my turn as milk monitor because I did not even like getting any spilt milk on me because of the smell.I drink it in tea and coffee and in custard etc.The funny thing is that I love fresh cream,cheese and yoghurt.
Mmm Cymbeline I love soya milk too.
jedimistress I utterly loathe and abhor milk. It is the worst possible drink for me. The thought of it makes me feel ill. I blame those nasty boys in my class in the seventies who blew 'milk bubbles' and made milk burbs. I was also milk monitor throughout one summer....ooh the stench!
While I am on a roll, recently I was at an older lady's house and she made me a cup of tea with MILK!! I hadn't the heart to refuse but when I got in my car I had to take a bite on my air freshner in case I upchucked, honest.
At first I loved milk (as a baby), then I didn't like milk because I associated it with humiliation (drank the free warm milk at infant school and threw up on the big round desk much to my contemporaries amusement), then I didn't mind it but then I LOVED it when I got pregnant and I still love it now, perhaps because I'm breastfeeding! I wake in the night needing it and manage to get through loads- on it's own, with muesli and in hot chocolate!

I can only drink tea with a little skimmed milk in it - I was in hospital recently & they only had full fat milk, yuk, so I declined!
I do ocsasionally like to drink a glass of freezing cold skimmed milk, but it has to be freezing!
Couldn't stand the bottles of milk at school that had been placed along the radiators to keep warm in winter - the thought of it makes me gag!
My husband hates milk in tea, but drinks those disgusting bottles milshakes and those from MacDonalds. A friend was on anti-biotics and since then has not been able to drink milk at all, although she used to love it.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure that humans are the only species who drink another species milk, and carry on drinking milk as adults.
smudge's answer is interesting. I gave up milk altogether about 7 years ago because I thought it was not very good for my digestive system.
I have always had very, very bad hay fever but realised some time after giving up milk that I was hardly troubled with the hay fever!
I use rice milk ( which is also available with added calcium) on cereals and do drink some soya milk. But I haven't taken milk in tea for 30 years or more. When I did drink milk I would add it to coffee but now I drink the coffee without.
interesting about the sinus problems, i used to look after some special needs kiddy winks and funnily enough, Goats milk was used in their diets instead of cows milk to help with their mucus and sinus problems. it was definately better for them. I also read somewhere that drinking gallons of cows milk sometimes showed that the drinker was in fact intolerant to it....
Have a look at : http://www.lactose.co.uk/ as it is likely that anyone who feel unwell after drinking milk or having dairy products has either an allergy to or intolerance of lactose.
This is because the natural lactose, a sugar, may not be absorbed in the body which then causes irritable bowel, nausea etc
Right comment that adult humans have no need to drink milk as the adult system is not designed to get any benefit from it. Calcium and all the other vits and minerals we need are in fresh fruit, veg and cereals, so milk is really only intended for children.
Lactose intolerant people who want milk products can use goats milk, rice mik (which has extra minerals etc added) or soy milk and avoid the digestion problems. Goats milk still has lactose but it is less than in cows milk. Milk is also present in so many other food stuffs, especially nasty processed ready meals, so anyone with an allergy should check the ingredients lists carefully.
...I don't drink milk, tea or coffee, I have my cereal dry/or with a bit of sliced fruit, I think the last time I drank milk was when I was around 5 in those little bottles at school - curdled because there was no fridge, probably what put me off.... I've tried disguising the taste with milkshake surups (when I was pregnant because I felt guilty of not providing the nutrients for my baby) but to no avail, I can't stand any milk based puddings either, eg. rice pudding...though custard is ok...
