I understand that you are joking, but it is interesting to note what far ancient humans were willing to go, trough trial and error. Think how many people died before it was common knowledge what plants and mushrooms are poisonous. Milk consumption started after domestication for meat. "Hey, it's actually not that bad, this means we can get good stuff from cows even when they are still alive. Neat". And there is evidence that humans consumed milk before we evolved to properly digest it. I don't know about you, but I find it fascinating.

Yes. “Who’s” is short for “Who is,” which asks a question about identity. “Whose” is a word which asks about possession. In speech, who’s and whose sound identical, but are substantially different words. Because of this, “Who is milk do you drink?” is ungrammatical. I hope this is helpful to you. Please let me know if I did not help to clarify this.
