Standing up and drinking milk

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Is it sunnah to stand up and drink milk?

Bismillaah

A: We haven’t come across any hadeeth which states that Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) used to stand and drink milk. The general practice amongst the ulama and pious is that they sit and drink.
