Chocolate milk is "good or bad" for you depending on your definitions. It has calcium, and more than a dozen nutrients such as protein, B-vitamins and a precursor to vitamin-D3, which is essential to health. It does contain extra sugar. However, if a child or grown-up will drink chocolate milk and not readily drink regular milk, the benefits outweigh the perceived "bad" of the extra sugars.
The long answer: (according to: dairygoodness.ca/good-health/benefits-of-milk-products 1/22/2018). These are the nutrients. With over 15 different nutrients, milk--lactose-free or not--it's a good choice for health:
Protein: Helps build and repair body tissues, including muscles and bones, and plays a role in the creation of antibodies which fight infection.
