@Kira: I've cut back on animal products, especially meat, but I don't know if it's gonna be possible for me to totally let go of dairy (unless I just quit having the things that call for it altogether, but I haven't reached that point yet). I do my best to be mindful of the sources when I can, which is one reason I also tend to avoid almond milk--but another reason is 'cause it tears up my digestive system, as do most "nut milk" products I've tried. IDK if it's the stabilizers in them or just too much of whatever's in nuts, but more than a little bit of that stuff (like, less than what you'd use on a bowl of cereal) is no good for me. But I still try to keep an eye out for substitutes I can use, and while the sweetness of it prevents me from using it in cooking, soy milk hasn't given me as much of an issue as some of the other things. So as someone who also freaking loves eggnog, I figured this was worth a try. Unfortunately, it kind of just left me wanting the real thing. >:^/
