From what I have been told, It will only "milk" the oil if you are running way to rich.

I put my 440ex on alcohol and it did what you are talking about. I am waiting for a fuel/air O2 sensor from K&N before I run it anymore.

If you run alcohol and "milk" your oil, you have almost no protection on you cylinder because the alcohol will wash the oil off of it.

Yes thats a concern so you need to moniter the oil as the days go on. Keep fresh oil and ride it out!

even with fresh oil you are not going to protect the cylinder if you are running to rich. By he time you see your oil turn to milk a lot of alk has washed the cylinder and the damage is done. If you are going to run alky set your system up right for it if you can. That means enough compression, timing and fuel delivery system, Then dyno or get egt to see if you are still rich on not. Alky makes you go fast if done right but it makes you tear up a motor faster if not done right. The way most people are converting to alky now they are only getting about 1/3 of the hp they would get if done right and they are also doing damge to the motors.
