You're making it sound like you're drinking a glass of boiled down heavy cream. Whole milk still isn't even close to half and half which isn't even close to heavy cream which isn't like an intense, stick-to-your mouth consistency. Just exaggerated. Each level of milk just takes getting used to. You go back and forth between the 3 real milks (whole, 2, and 1) and you get used to each one. You start drinking 1% and you can't stand whole. You start drinking whole for a while and 2% tastes weak.
