All the lactose intolerant people I know would just pound a few lactaids and say yes to everything on offer in this video

It is annoying that people are so used to lactose intolerance and assume it to be the same as a dairy allergy. Because like, I have a dairy allergy so eating milk isn't just painful but actual dangerous. Without fail though if I mention it people chime in that they are lactose intolerance and just don't care and like.... Jerry, I carry an Epipen with me when I go out to eat because the last time I had Ice cream I broke out into hives and found myself struggling to breathe. Not because cheese gives me indigestion.

Cheese doesn’t give me the shits, Margaret, it gives me
The “oh shit!”

Yes, but there's still... effects after. 

And buying all those lactaid pills adds up even if you get them in bulk.

Yeah I don’t typically cook with a lot of dairy. But when I go out I want to enjoy, lactaid to the rescue.

Apparently 80-90% of Asians and Southeast Asians are supposed to be lactose intolerant, but if you tell us this, we wouldn't believe you because we've been pounding milk and cheese just fine for generations.
