Yeah, milkshakes taste so wonderful! A pity they are also darn fattening. I always tell the barista that I don’t want whipped cream. If I’m not wrong, you can also ask them to use low-fat milk at places like Starbucks.

Just drink in moderation – everything in excess can kill you. I remember a case of a radio station in the USA organizing a ‘who can drink the most water’ competition. The lady contestant died from drinking too much water!
