I can see why. After drinking the alternatives, I don't like the taste
of a glass of real milk too much now.

 NB> Another sign of progress... ;)  What kind did you make...?

My standard whole wheat.

 NB> just the two of  NB>> us generally drink 2-3 gallons a week...  :)

We liked it then, I've lost most of my taste for it now.

Most of the time I just have water with meals. The chocolate milk
alternatives are good but too high in sugar for me. I drank a lot of
chocolate soy before the diabetes diagnosis but dropped it when I found
out how much sugar is in it.

Quite so.

As we've got a good number of choices. We like to get a gyro quite often
for a quick meal; there's a couple of places locally where we go. Both
owned by the same person so we know the quality is good at either
location.
