I live in Bavaria. There are multiple politicians who don't get tired to performatively eat sausages and try to make laws that mandate calling oat milk “oat drink” and vegan burgers/schnitzel/… anything else. As if anyone would ever get confused by that. There's a common joke that they should rename “scouring milk” to “scouring drink” otherwise people get confused!!!

The milk thing though. If it didn't come from a mammal it isn't milk, it's a milk substitute. But milk of magnesia is another traditional thing which isn't milk

Word meaning depends on usage. People call it “oat milk”, so it's oat milk.
