Water? The thing adult humans evolved to drink.

A good chunk of human adults also evolved to drink milk, my dude.

Adapted I think is a better term than evolved. Most people would be lactose intolerant if they stopped drinking milk after being weened off of breast milk.

Eh I feel like that is semantics. If we are specific and refer to how individuals adapt to be lactose tolerant, you could still say "humans evolved to drink milk" instead in reference to how the population of humans that could adapt and become lactose tolerant grew in relation to humans that couldn't.

Don't appeal to evolution, evolution is weird. Evolution just does whatever survival says. If we can survive drinking milk, evolution is cool with it. But evolution is weird, evolution will be all like "You like cows milk huh? That's cool, have you considered shrinking down and losing your brain and most internal organs to become a nipple latching milk parasite? No? Ok, I'll ask again later."
