’ll have a number 6 with extra dip. Big Smoke: I’ll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda. Make that diet, I'm trying to watch my weight.

To be fair, the alcoholic menu us typically like this too. 95% of the menu is beer, wine, or vodka and some kind of syrup.

I mean, I just annoyed that milk isn't even an option in a lot of restaurants. It's something so basic, like.

[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 67 points 11 months ago (1 children)

actually milk is slightly acidic

I feel like this joke would have landed better 5, or maybe even 3 years ago. Every even remotely fancy restaurant I go into has jumped on the mocktail bandwagon and offers plenty of options for people avoiding alcohol.

[–] criticon@lemmy.ca 77 points 10 months ago (5 children)

Of course they do. They sell them equally expensive without the expensive ingredients!

Even then, it's not really accurate anyway. A cocktail is a bunch of ingredients mixes together. You can usually get them without the alcohol if you ask for it (obviously this doesn't work for every drink). They list of cocktails is so large because there's a lot of ways to combine a few ingredients to make different things. They don't actually stock that many types of drinks or anything. They're made on demends, and can usually be modified if you ask.

Who fucking drinks milk when they go to a restaurant - are you 5?

[–] meowMix2525@lemm.ee 39 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Restaurants menus lacking milk as a drinking option is definitely a positive for me - I do not wish to dine alongside whatever freak chooses to drink milk with their meal.

Cow boob juice is for baby cows. Human boob juice is for baby humans. Adults of any species should have developed past ingesting boob juice in childhood.

Come on dude. Don't tell me you've never drunk milk as an adult. Be honest lmfao

Why judge people over their choice of beverage?

Why can't we all drink (or eat or be...) whatever we please without derogatory comments being made? What kind of a low is that?

Seriously.

you’ve never had 3am Waffle House chocolate milk?

That's chocolate milk which is amazing at any time, the post implies plain white milk

Some this has to do with shelf life. Beverages containing alcohol have a long shelf life. A restaurant is not going to take losses on having 50 kinds of juice or whatever on hand. Another angle to this is that a lot of the drinks on the alcoholic menu are cocktails, so just combinations of other shit they have. Finally, what adult is just drinking milk? Have some water, it is good for you.

[–] STRIKINGdebate2@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago (4 children)

I just like having milk with every meal. I don't like water and having dinner with a fizzy drink is just wrong.

[–] CareHare@sh.itjust.works 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Not judging you on your milk drinking, but drinking too much milk can have serious side effects. Humans weren't biologically made to drink milk their whole lives.

[–] STRIKINGdebate2@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (12 children)

They weren't biologically made to drink alcohol or eat big macs their whole lives either yet here you are.

The worst is when mocktails cost as much as cocktails. Like a non alcoholic whiskey sour will be $13, Shirley Temples are like $10

At least from my experience in NYC

[–] GreatTitEnthusiast@mander.xyz 58 points 11 months ago (4 children)

What if I told you that you aren't paying for the drinks but you're renting the table/bar stool

[–] protist@mander.xyz 16 points 11 months ago

For real, a shot of vodka doesn't justify $13 for a drink, it's the rent that does that

There’s the trend of restaurants having “mocktails”, which is cool, but they often charge for them based on their price for alcoholic beverages. I don’t really want a special lemonade for $14.

This is my favorite thread, just everyone arguing over milk

[–] STRIKINGdebate2@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago (10 children)

This thread has been so weird for me because apparently something I've always done without ever giving any thought to is weird to people. I don't give a fuck. It's all in jest, anyways.

me: i'd like a glass of milk

them: sorry that's only on the kids menu

me: you mean you can't pour me a glass of milk unless i order from a special menu? what if i wanted coffee

them: oh then we can bring you milk

me: ok then i'll order a coffee and just have the milk

them: sorry can't do that.

[–] joenforcer@midwest.social 18 points 10 months ago (3 children)

My friend ordered an omelette without the eggs before, and it worked. A server wouldn't sell me a double shot of Jager because it was "too much alcohol" but had no problem selling me two single shots at once.

All depends on how accommodating your server is.

Adults: Look at these tiktok kids eating tide pods!

Also adults: Waiter please pour me a glass of your finest toxin!

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 20 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Ah, but it's a very old pool of toxin, cooked over rotten plant matter from a swamp and aged in an obsolete form of container, and it made them significantly poorer to order it! /s

Alcohol gives me the shits. Milk gives me the shits. I’d rather just have water.

Milk is for babies. When you grow up you have to drink beer.
