The amount of lactose that a person's gut has to process is significantly less if they're only adding it to tea or coffee rather than drinking pints of it every day.
But even so, I gather that people in Southern European countries like Italy don't generally tend to drink milk, apart from added to coffee, and even then only in the mornings.

- mparramon 6y agoI lived in Spain for most of my life, and plenty of people drink milk in various forms: by itself, with chocolate or other flavourings, with cereals, muesli, etc. Supermarkets have huge shelfs for many brands of milk, and they're sold mainly in 6-packs.
