dolorosa_12Day 18: Do you drink soda more often than milk?
Until I was about 20, I drank massive, pint-glasses of milk every morning at breakfast. The only thing was that it had to be Shape, which is a very specific kind of low-fat milk which, if I recall correctly, can only be bought in New South Wales and the ACT. (Certainly I remember being traumatised on family holidays in Victoria and having to try to drink other kinds of milk.) The thing is, I found full-cream milk to taste too creamy (I find cream, butter, margarine, and occasionally yoghurt to be repulsive. Also bananas and avocados. It's a texture thing). All other low-fat milk I've tasted tastes like full-cream milk to me, but Shape was deliciously watery and almost sweet tasting. Everyone else I know finds it disgusting. I can drink any kind of milk when it's mixed in things, of course.
Anyway, I don't really drink milk at all any more, unless it's in coffee (and even then, not that much, as I drink macchiatos while I'm in Germany because, you guessed it, the way that German baristas make all the other types of coffee is too milky*). The thought of drinking milk actually makes me feel a little queasy, to be honest. (I think this might be somewhat genetic. My father is sickened by milk, yoghurt and even cheese, which is the one dairy product I love. My sister also feels queasy when she drinks milk, especially when it's warm.) I'm glad that I drank milk throughout my childhood, adolescence and early adulthood, as the health benefits are pretty important, but I can't imagine drinking it now. So by virtue of that, I drink more soft drinks than milk as I don't drink milk at all.

* This isn't the fault of the German baristas. It's just a style of coffee, one that I don't like much. I prefer my lattes to look and taste like this rather than this.
