People don't necessarily "need" any milk, assuming they have adequate sources of calcium and protein in their diet. So I can't say how much you "should" drink, since you could have a perfectly healthy, balanced diet without any milk. Nevertheless, skim milk is an excellent source of protein and calcium while being free of saturated fat and low in cholesterol. To get 100% of the RDA for calcium exclusively from milk, you would need to drink roughly 3 8-oz glasses, that's .7 liters in metric terms. So if you wanted to consume your calcium requirements daily, and milk is the only source of calcium in your diet, you should drink .7 liters. Otherwise there's a big open area.
