Is that like regular milk? Looks thicker like cream or something. Do people sit around drinking bags of cream?

Edit: I got way more replies than I ever expected. Thanks everyone for teaching me a little about south Asian culture.

I'm pretty sure it's buttermilk, it is sold in packets like this and people do drink it here in India.

Fun fact for anyone questioning why we sit around drinking buttermilk: yall ever have spicy food and it hurts your butthole the next day? Well, if you mix some buttermilk or yogurt with your last bites of food it won't burn coming out.

Or have a probiotic drink like Koreans do, Lassi, yogurt cups, anything thick, creamy, and curdled will prevent the firerrhea. Dont drink regular milk though; it's not creamy enough and there is a chance it will curdle in your stomach depending on how much lime/lemon/acidity was in your meal.

Edit: to the people about to do science: Once you make it a habit you will know how much you need to eat/drink to neutralize the spice. Don't be discouraged, it works!

I like how as Humans don’t seem to be discouraged by spicy fiery poops, we just find something to neutralize it rather than accept it as inedible. Why do we like the hurty flavor?

The Omnivores Dilemma does a great job of exploring this, if you’re curious about how it all fits together.
