    If you like milk there’s no such thing as a replacement. Only milk tastes like milk. The other things that have milk in the name taste like whatever they’re made from (not milk).

    That being said, pretty much any liquid should work, though the bubbles may not last. Also for something like mercury you may need an air compressor and a much more durable “straw”.

      People downvoting you must not have drank good quality dairy milk in a long time. Non-dairy milks can taste good as their own thing, but none of them would ever be confused with a good dairy milk in a blind test

        The thing is that many people who “like milk” don’t think of the taste of freshly milked dairy milk. I grew up with skimmed milk that got treated with ultra-high-temperature processing. The cow taste was hardly there and it wasn’t why I liked milk.

        I liked milk, because it made cereal edible and because I could put chocolate powder into it. The cow taste rather even felt out of place.
