It's never necessary to drink milk. Eating a well rounded diet will provide everything you need as far as vitamins go. Also - there is no lack of sun in the United States, so that part of your question doesn't really apply. (unless you live in Alaska, then maybe...)

- Thank you for the reply, but my question doesn't really say "lack of sun", its the vitamin D from sun. I came up with this question because i see vitD in milk,yogurt and someother foods, and got the doubt-what is the necessity of taking vitD in foods, when we get sufficient from sun ? (that happens when there is sufficient sunlight to synthesize vit D ) in that case it would be vitD toxicity rather than vitD deficiency ( as we are getting it from two sources)
  if i accept u r answer, i get the doubt regarding VIT-D toxicity ?

Vitamin D is found in multiple foods that are vitamin enriched. You'd have to try to avoid Vitamin D to become malnourished.

Eat yogurt, cheese, ice cream, any dairy product and:

Natural sources of vitamin D include:[1]

Fish liver oils, such as cod liver oil, 1 Tbs. (15 mL), 1,360 IU
Fatty fish, such as:
Salmon, cooked, 3.5 oz, 360 IU
Mackerel, cooked, 3.5 oz, 345 IU
Sardines, canned in oil, drained, 1.75 oz, 250 IU
Tuna, canned in oil, 3 oz, 200 IU
Eel, cooked, 3.5 oz, 200 IU
One whole egg, 20 IU
Shiitake mushrooms, one of a few natural sources of vegan and kosher vitamin D (in the form of ergosterol vitamin D2)

You need to obtain advice from a qualified nutritionist or dietician (not on an anonymous website) for YOUR particular situation or the person who this pertains to.

Don't take chances with your health or your diet to save a little money or time.
