If you progress to crushing and snorting the whole box it's time to seek help.

Skip the milk altogether. But get an equivalent of water.
No impactions, less calories, less lactose, all the vitamins only a few less minerals which...If you x11 or x13 the per serving numbers on the side of the box, you can see you're already getting a dose.

Why do you hate ‘Merica??? Are you a vegan too???
Sent from my iPad using TGR ForumsIt makes perfect sense...until you think about it.
I suspect there's logic behind the madness, but I'm too dumb to see it.

I used to race bicycles with a guy who would lay a new cereal box on its back side, cut the front of the box out from the other five sides, cut open the plastic layer, pour milk into the “bowl” and consume the whole box in like 3 minutes.

Some quick Googling finds that some estimates have ~920 gallons of water to produce 1 gallon of almond milk. Vs 30-50 gal per day of water consumed by a milk cow to produce 5-8 gallons of milk.
However, in places that have dairy cows where water is plentiful (e.g. Vermont). The amount of water used by cows is not a problem at all. Watering cows in CA as well as watering almond groves in CA using water that is a limited resource can be a problem. Also, apparently a huge amount of water is used to irrigate alfalfa crops that are fed to dairy cows in CA which tips further the scales toward almond milk.
IMO only buy milk from states that can support dairy without using water that is better used for something else.Aim for the chopping block. If you aim for the wood, you will have nothing. Aim past the wood, aim through the wood.

But your gut feeling isn't pseudo-science?
Here's my data and sources:
(Full disclosure, I don't drink almond milk and think it's slightly flavored water with little substance. It's like the LaCroix of the milk world. I did this google research from pure curiosity, not a vegan vendetta.)
A widely cited figure for cow's milk is 1020 liters of water per liter of milk (globally, acording to this source: http://waterfootprint.org/media/down...alProducts.pdf). For comparison sake, we can use the US data from that source, which is closer to 950.
Almonds are generally cited as using a gallon (3.78 liters)per nut. The best homemade almond milk will contain a cup of almonds per liter: ~92 almonds. That gives us ~350 liters of water per liter of almond milk. The mass produced almond milk has maybe half as many almonds, so you can put that at 175 liters for a liter of silk brand. That could go even lower, since most of what I'm seeing says that almond milk is only 2% almonds, which would make only 20 almonds/liter if that's by weight. We can even stick to the bigger number since that water number is only growing the nuts, not including processing. Almonds still beat cows by a mile.
Here's a chart based on the Mekonnen-Hoekstra data that matches my calculations above:
