You will of course gain weight drinking a gallon of milk per day, as it's about 2000 calories and 80g of fat. For some people - certainly those who don't seem to gain weight no matter what - it should be relatively successful.
However, there's a genuine risk that all the consumer would be 'gaining' is fat.
If money is available the best thing to do is to buy the best protein powder you can afford and have a couple of protein shakes per day. Aim for a brand that allows 40-50g of protein per serving.
Eat normally otherwise, but try to consume as much lean protein as you can - chicken breasts, steak mince, tuna, etc. Eat lots of vegetables. Take a decent multivitamin.
Combine this with 3-4 sessions per week of strength training at the gym (no more than 30-45 minutes each, focusing on a full-body workout of 6-8 compound exercises each time) and you should see decent gains in six weeks, and be well on your way in three months.
Best of luck!
