I've always thought the trope was based on the idea of stunted development. Kids are heavily encouraged to drink milk, so films making a point of adults drinking it are indicating that there's some part of growing up that they've missed.

It wasn't meant as any sort of insult, more of the trope of overanalizing innocuous things.

I was considering just not replying to this but I decided that this mindset makes me too sad.

If an artist decides to include something in their work, it is likely going to be relevant in some way.

To use the stupid meme example of "the curtains were fucking blue" your teacher wasn't telling you that blue curtains = sadness, they were telling you to think critically about what the writer chose to include in the text.

"The curtains were fucking blue" can be a valid interpretation, but the issue is when people stop their thinking at that surface level and ridicule any deeper analysis of a work.

It's also not made for adults, it's literally baby food for mamals.
While some parts of the world have been drinking it out of necessity to survive (in colder climate) most of the world haven't developed a lactose tolerancy.
Adult milk drinkers are indeed freaks.

Yet several cultures across the world developed means to drink milk and eat cheese. The mongols' fermentation process allows them to eat and drink despite being lactose intolerant, not to mention they make kumis from mare milk
