Learn something new every day....
Now I don't actually get the science behind this...and I'm skeptical because it's CNN...but as someone who will casually drink milk when thirsty, I can support this.

Well, it is what they drink after the Indy 500.
Reminds me of the young Private who would put milk in his canteen at breakfast. He got a few cool drinks early in the AM, but around lunchtime, he'd have to throw his canteen away. Seems it happened at least once every time we went to the field.

Yeah, but trying to run or do anything physical with milk as your main source of hydration is gonna be rough on the gut.

Chocolate milk gets rid of my headaches most of the time.

You cud chewers keep on drinking cows milk.
When you think about it….millions of people in a population of billions is so fractional. Give me that cow boobie drink any day

Only science I know is I craved milk as a kid after ball games. Later as an adult after a hangover.
Likely has something to do with the sugar

I was just thinking about better ways to stay hydrated so finding this thread was timely.
I am surprised the article didn't mention Gatorade and drinks like that. Though I guess that would be covered in drinks with sugar? I guess some sugar and even a little salt can help with liquid absortion.

There's a rumor that clean drinking water tends to hydrate some people. Of course you gotta drink it, but it's always so..I dunno..watery.. That watery part probably has something to do with it having so much water in it.. Just boil it. It'll eventually thicken up.
