Um, buttermilk IS a beverage.

What do you mean by "full-fat kind"?

I like buttermilk too... but it's not very fattening, no more than
nonfat/lowfat milk. Buttermilk of times past was the liquid left after
butter was churned, contained virtually no fat other than a few tiny
yellow flecks of butter. Today it is made commercially by adding
special bacteria to nonfat or lowfat milk, giving it a slightly
thickened texture and tangy flavor. No one gets fat from drinking
buttermilk, in fact it's a great appetite supressor that aids in
dieting for weight loss.
