Xem bản dịch

Milk used to be considered a staple of a healthy diet and children were often expected to "drink their milk" even if they didn't like it. Now, you might use the phrase to communicate that it's something that needs to be done, generally implying for the greater good, even if they don't really want to.

Example:

If you were sick and were refusing your medication because you disliked the taste, someone might say "Stop whining and drink your milk."

There is a similar usage along the lines of: "He clearly drinks his milk" to indicate that someone is tall or large, as milk was often thought to be a great source of the nutrients vital to bone growth and health.
