Studies have been performed on this topic and have demonstrated that milk will not cause mucus build up. The myth persists because of the coating sensation that occurs after drinking milk.

An internet Search on "Milk Mucus Study" will provide more details on the studies.

Recent Australian studies have shown that Milk Consumption Does Not Lead to Mucus Production or Occurrence of Asthma

This is true when no milk alergy is present. Similar studies have concluded that this is a physical effect and that the psychological perception of increased mucous is also duplicated by using a soy milk substitute designed to mimic the physical properties of milk.

Basically when the milk (or milk like fluid) mixes with mucous it creates an impression of increased mucous production.
