Neither of my children (boy 12 and girl 7) like milk. Heck, my wife even hates milk. The solution in our house to get all three of them to drink milk was to get chocolate milk. Try that. If that doesn't work, you can always find an alternative food to make sure he gets his dairy intake...cheese, ice cream, yogurt, etc. Even chewable calcium suppliments would help.

Since they put fluoride in tap water now I wouldn't worry about it. Quite a few people develop lactose intolerance anyway.

Once weaned, humans really don't need milk. A healthy, balanced diet will provide all the calcium needed. A lack of magnesium can keep the body from utilizing calcium, so that is important. Actually the body doesn't assimilate processed milk well. Cheese and yogurt are a bit different and many handle that better.

Here's part of the deal on dairy intollerance: only 5% of caucasions are dairy intollerant, about 50% of people of African descent are intollerant and 95% of Asian or Native American are intollerant. This is more than lactose, with heavy dairy (real ice cream) I have actually become like I was drunk, my son lost his upper and lower hearing range as a young child with a dairy intollerance. A common pattern for this may be early intollerance, and fair tollerance through childhood, the teens and into early adulthood with increasing intollerance through adulthood.

Some self education on diet and you can get plenty of what you need with little or no dairy. And activity, especially some weight bearing will increase bone density.
