Lactose intolerant people drink goat's milk because it is more easily digestible than cow's milk. The inability to digest lactose is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme lactase, which is required to break down lactose. Goat's milk contains smaller fat globules and less lactose than cow's milk, making it easier to digest for lactose intolerant individuals.
