My friend gave me a milk box they snatched from a highschool. My 24yo ass drank that box in the middle of New York happily. Tickled a core memory. No one cared.

This! The reason milk isn't "socially acceptable" to drink around in public is because milk isn't really something that is commonly in a portable form factor. If you see someone drinking a milk carton in public it's no different than seeing someone drink a juice box or a can of soda, or a can of beer. Except milk cartons aren't really too commonly available at any gas station.

Not if you add trace amounts of coffee to it.

Unless you drink from the tap. Can we normalize doing whatever you want as long as it's not hurting anyone?

cause milk is a horrifying product of rape and suffering while destroying our planet and alcohol is just a bit of drugs

"Alcohol is more socially acceptable to drink in public than a food produced by a mother cow for her baby." Wow what a revelation.

It seems weirder when you say "A harmful poison that causes a slurred state and hallucinations when drunken is more socially acceptable to drink than milk", does it? Because you can make anything sound however you want people to feel by just twisting the words around.

Ah, I sure do love the block feature on this platform. Just one click and deranged shit like this is filtered out forever.

Milk as a food item would be fine if it wasn't for our ridiculous population, where the only way to get it to the masses is through fkd up farming practices. Alcohol is also not safe from the same type of criticism. It takes water to grow the plants to make the alcohol. Water that is not renewable. Not to mention it is highly addictive and can cause death from ocerconsumption, doing dumb shit while drunk or while detoxing. Is that worth the resources that go into it? I dunno.

Tbh. I think we're damned if we do damned if we don't in almost every sense as a species. I try not to be a doomer, but damn do I hate people FTMP.
