Lactose intolerance is a condition where your body is unable to process lactose. You either have it or you don't. You could develop it, but only if you are genetically predisposed to it. Eating dairy products will neither increase nor decrease your chance of being lactose intolerant.

No, people who are lactose intolerant are usually missing the enzyme Lactase, It's not from drinking too much dairy.
