More details to this question:
I got into a verbal argument with a man and tossed 1 ounce of milkshake on him. During sentencing yesterday the judge said I committed a felony. What I can find online says a felony comes with intent to commit or actually commit grave bodily harm. I can't see why milkshake is a felony.

First of all, if you were at a sentencing you must have entered a plea to a charge, if it was a felony I am assuming you had an attorney either appointed or hired. That is something you should have discussed with the attorney and should now if you are not clear. Throwing something on someone such as a substance can still be a battery. Since there were no injuries the only thing that would make it a felony is the status of the person it was thrown on. If the person was over 65 any battery becomes a felony, there are also other people that can apply to, but I would guess that is the one that would apply in your case. If your case is not over and you do not have an attorney I would contact one in your area right away.
