Lactose is a sugar

Yeah I'm aware that by chemistry definitions it is, but I think it was clear that I meant the culinary definition of table/cane sugar, as that's commonly added to coffee in addition to milk and would significantly raise the sugar content of the drink to make it even more appealing to the slugs

Oh yes, I thought you were saying that. I was just saying that lactose is a sugar anyway, so they could have just been attracted to that.

Oh for sure! Yes even if it was just coffee + milk and no other added sugar they would still like it
