To clarify, the gallon of milk was about the entire sustenance for the day unless someone needed some additional solid food and they were given fresh bread and or healthy soups.
Many years ago when the UK gave out free milk to school childen in third of a pint bottles they would often have some left over after break time. Those extra bottles would be placed in the school canteen for the benefit of the "diners".
On a day when the school meals were particularly dire, I could consume nine bottles at lunchtime! Three pints. I think a whole gallon would be pushing it somewhat.

Oh Lord Jesus be with the poor soul who though the same as you but actually did. Chugging a gallon of milk is how you get an instant vomit fountain.
