Position of ONLY: I drink milk only vs. I only drink milk vs. I drink only milk

Hey

I'd like to know if the three sentences are grammatically correct and if I change their meanings by changing the position of the adverb.

I only drink milk
I drink only milk
I drink milk only

thank you!

As they stand, they all sound correct and synonymous to me, Raquel.

Hi Rachel

I agree with MM.
However, since the word 'only' can be very troublesome, you might find this interesting to read, too.
