Get your calcium from a different source. Humans were not meant to drink milk for the rest of their lives. Doesn't it seam weird that humans are the only mammals that do this.

I believe that if you're not worried about the fat and sugar in the chocolate milk, that it would be okay to substitute. I feel the same way - I don't like white milk or eggs or yogurt, but I do drink Ovaltine, which gives me a few more vitamins and minerals than regular chocolate milk, but tastes good. Maybe try that?
The next time that you go to the store, put a white milk label next to your chocolate milk label and compare them to see where the differences are - probably just fat and sugar.

If you buy bottled chocolate milk, stop. You should buy white milk and a herseys or nesquik syrup/powder to add to the white milk to make your own chocolate milk. This way you still get the calcium and good stuff in white milk

White chocolate won't do it for ya. Get some good calcium tablets and make sure you get each and every day, 1200 milligrams of Calcium along with 800 mgs. of Vitamin D. Also keep physically active. Weight bearing exercises will build stronger bones. Don't be a couch potato. You will build your best bone strength in your younger years, but if you stay off that couch, you'll be able to cruise through your later years without any risk of osteoporosis.

Try a milk called Y.U.M. (stands for "Your Ultimate Milk"). You can get it at most any grocery store. It is fat free, cholestrol free and it tastes WONDERFUL. They have regular white milk, chocolate milk and white choclate milk (that really IS yum!) It's also organic, which is a plus because of the lifestyle I've choosen. It really is a good way to get all the calcium of milk without the fat and without losing any of the flavor of chocolate or white chocolate milk. Hope this helps!

drink chocolate milk, milk is milk. Really it's not the milk that makes your bones strong it's the calcium, you can go out and buy calcium pills and take those.

You're supposed to hate milk after the age of 10 (tops). It is dairy industry propaganda that "milk builds strong bones". Your body will absorb and utilise more calcium from a serving of spinach than a quart of (ugh) cows milk.

You don't have to drink milk in order to assist your bones.
A good calcium & magnesium vitamin will provide the same benefits as milk without all of the fat, calories, and carbs that are contained in milk.

Chocolate milk, cheese, yogurt, and other dairy products will be good substitutes. Though, watch the sugar intake of chocolate milk.
Another thing you can do is take calcium supplements.
