My Relationship With Chocolate Milk

The painkillers I still have to take for my shoulder are a bit problematic. They make me feel fuzzy around the edges and they cause a certain amount of constipation. I can't do anything about the first problem, but for the second, I have a secret weapon:

Chocolate milk.

See, I'm a little lactose intolerant. Just a little. I can handle most milk products, but for some reason, commercial chocolate milk sets it off. When I was encountering the above-mentioned digestive problems with my painkillers, it occurred to me that chocolate milk might be a decent solution.  I bought half a gallon.

Commercial chocolate milk is really thick and sugary, though, and I don't like it much. So I mixed it half and half with regular milk to water it down (milk it down?). Much better!  And yep--painkiller problems cleared up nicely.

So now we have chocolate milk in the fridge.
