Does milk curdle in alcohol?
Milk can easily curdle in alcohol. This happens because alcoholic spirits are weak acids. When you add alcohol to milk, it lowers the milk's pH value, causing it to curdle.
To avoid curdling in your co*cktails, try to use heavy cream or crème fraiche in the co*cktails that require both dairy and citrus. These products contain such little casein that the introduction of acid wouldn't be able to result in any significant curdling.
Alcohol prevents the breakdown of nutrients present in milk into usable molecules by decreasing secretion of digestive enzymes. Alcohol impairs the nutrients absorption by damaging the cells lining the stomach and intestines and disabling transport of some nutrients into the blood.

Milk and whiskey is a surprisingly delicious combination because of how the two ingredients contrast one another. Milk is a fatty and creamy drink with a simple salty-sweet flavour. Whiskey, on the other hand, is a strong spirit which can contain a wide range of flavours and aromas.
If you mixed a beer with 2% milk, it would curdle. 2% milk doesn't contain fat to protect the proteins in the milk, so the acidity of the beer will cause the milk proteins to clump (curdle).
If there's a curdling issue, you'll see it almost immediately. The producers also claim that you can mitigate the curdling effect by pouring the mixer and letting it cool before adding RumChata.
You drink the Bailey's and hold the shot in your mouth, then take the shot of lime juice and swirl the mixture around. The lime's acidity causes the Bailey's to rapidly curdle, so much so that you have to chew down the congealed mass.
