milk contains simple sugars, as such overconsumption raises your risk of type II diabetes
However, fermented dairy products like yogurt and cheese do not contain these simple sugars and do not significantly raise your risk of diabetes.
My advice is to eat more yogurt and cheese, drink less milk.

Obviously you like to drink a lot of milk, and it isn't horrible to you.
But you heard about all the hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, herbicides and fungicides accumulated in cow milk, the sensitivity to dairy many experience these days, and now you're not so sure anymore?
If you wanted to avoid toxins, you could turn to milk from organically raised cows.
To see if you are sensitive you could cease to drink milk for a couple of weeks, and then see how you react upon reintroduction.
But also obviously you do not care. In this case it's better for you emotional health to keep drinking without considering it horrible.

Maybe milk isn't the best option for an adult or maybe it is absolutely healthy...for sure what makes milk a big question mark are pasteurization, homogenization and raising of cows.
Raw milk from pasture raised cows is certainly not comparable with "ordinary" milk, therefore at least a distinction has to be made.

I don't drink it because I see no place for it in my diet, and it's pretty lame.

Aged cheese is a good source of Vitamin K2. I'll keep eating my Gouda cheese I also think the (full fat) Greek Yoghurt is also good and mixed with water, could make a great (although not as delicious) alternative to ordinary milk. When I go back to eating carbs I may just make my morning porridge or cereal with this.
If you enjoy milk and are concerned, just cut back and don't drink it on its own. I wonder if you down a full glass of milk, your saliva intake (which contains enzymes) are next to nothing and whether an empty stomach has enough time to break it down or when it enters a near empty intestine, if there is enough time there as well. Have it with food (such as oatmeal or cereals, where it can spend longer and give the enzymes a chance. Of course if you are intolerant, stay away
I personally believe there is a question mark or even a point to unpasteurised milk but there is a new technique I could go on board with if the price wasn't so ridiculous. (do I pay $1 a litre or $5). It's High Pressure Pasteurization. Subjecting the contents to 100,000psi It destroys almost all bacteria and micro organisms without any heat. That said, if you don't have a problem frying an egg or cooking meat or food in general, why would you be bothered with your milk reaching 70 degrees for a couple of seconds? A few % loss of an overabundance of vitamins you already get in the 1st world diet???? Perspectives...

Milk has always made me feel better. For some reason, it gives me a boost of energy. But it is not a sugary energy but one that feels stable. I'm wondering if it is because it contains nicotinamide riboside and other NAD+ precursors. This is one reason I want to try nicotinamide riboside.

I don't drink any milk any more, and eat hardly any cheese. However I'm happy to eat butter as it's a source of butyrate and I take supplemental lactoferrin, which has a lot of things going for it.

Since when is drinking milk horrible? I buy cow milk from farmers and I'm perfectly healthy, maybe store bought milk is not so good because they put who knows what in it.
