It undeniably does, but what would be interesting is a comparison of how much water is needed per liter of milk and various substitutes.
Per liter, dairy milk requires 628.2 L of freshwater vs almond milk requiring 371.46 L of freshwater. And if you use something like oat milk instead that gets you to 48.24 L

I suppose I should have guessed how much more resource-intensive dairy milk is just because it involves animals, but holy crap.
@usernamesAreTricky @vegivamp Oat milk is 🔥 .
For sure, oat milk is personally my favorite too
Love using oat milk for porridge. Double oat, so oaty.
Same and this is making me even happier to be drinking it.
Of all the non-dairy milks I've tried, oat is the most palatable to me. Still distinctly prefer cow, though. But then i grew up on the fresh stuff, not the watery crap from the supermarket.
I make my own oat milk. Costs literal cents to make and you can modify it for you tastes
I've switched entirely to oat milk. I don't understand how it's so creamy.
Soy milk gang!
Drinking coffee with soy milk in it right now.
I still like Soy milk the best. It's tried and true, and uses less water than Oat. Sadly, the emissions are a bit higher...
But a benefit is that in making soy milk, you have the setup to make tofu, which is lovely as well.
