A mouse is a mammal; it most certainly would drink milk.

Quick question: How does one tell the difference between "does not" and "is not" in scandinavian languages? Is it based upon context alone?

It's kind of like in English when you say I drink no milk isn't it?

"ikke" modifies the verb, not the noun, more like "not" in English. A more direct translation of "I drink no milk" would be "Jeg drikker ingen mælk"
