are these sentences grammatically correct?

Watashi wa mainichi mizu o nomimasu. Demo, yoku gyuunyuu o nomimasu.

ur words will be understood correctly, but could be better by fixing a little.

Demo, gyuunyuu mo yoku nomimasu. (But I often drink milk as well.)

since milk is compared with water, "mo" is preferred to "wo (o)".

and it sounds more natural if u put an adverb ("yoku") just before the verb ("nomimasu").
but it doesnt matter a lot. ur expression isnt so incorrect that i mistake what u mean, but sounds a bit awkward.
