When I was growing up we went through a gallon a day. Fucking love milk.
I can remember when I'd come home from high school, if I smelled oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, I'd know my mom would have saved me some of the dough in a Tupperware in the fridge. I'd get it, a spoon, and a half gallon jug of milk and sit down in front of the TV until they were both gone.
I was super active, and really skinny, but it still seems funny to think about now.
My parents rationed the fuck out of our milk because my mom would have Carnation Instant Breakfast (basically chocolate milk possibly with some additives?) every day as her breakfast and they couldn't be arsed to buy an extra half or full gallon of milk per week.
I also grew up hating the carbonation in soda so I'd literally only drink milk or water, which turned out to be very handy in adulthood since soda is so terrible for you (and expensive! Holy crap a single box of cans is like $8 and soda drinkers usually want 2-3 of those a week! Also i just realized that's 48-72 cans of soda a week meaning for two adults probably drink 3-5 cans a day!)
