Human existence is bad for the environment. Not every comment has to take a turn into a social or political issue though right?

Milk is nice. If you can drink and enjoy it, enjoy it. Sounds simple.

You're really not thinking this through. There's an entire supply chain of suffering behind that milk. If you don't know what I'm talking about, consider looking at any footage from the inside of a dairy farm. It's not pretty.

In an ecosystem, all supply chains are built on suffering. Ecosystems do not evolve to decrease suffering.

But we can make individual choices to decrease overall suffering. You have that power.

Many nice and enjoyable things are only nice for you, but not the other party. We don't generally say "enjoy stealing".

Did you just equate drinking milk with stealing?

I don't know, you tell me. Does it come at an expense of another being?
