Explanation:

Fewer is used for things that can be counted such as, kids, chairs, balloons, etc...

Less is used for singular mass nouns

Here’s a tip: A good way to test that a noun is truly uncountable is to try making a plural out of it.

Example: I told Cookie Monster to drink fewer/less milks or he would get sick?

Because Milk is a liquid, we can't count it. Making 'less' the proper word choice

Example: I told Cookie Monster to drink less milk or he would get sick?

I hope this helped!
