Yes bringing a bottle wine would be nice. Maybe two. You do not know how many people are going to be there. Or even bringing over a 12 pack of pop. But then there may be kids at the table who are not allowed to have pop with their meal. They might throw a fit if they have to have milk. I think it would be rude to bring pop. If it is just a casual dinner I do not think wine is needed either.

That's OK. Just explain that the person bringing his/her own drink cannot or does not drink milk. A good host will understand and not feel insulted.
On the other hand, a good host, if he/she knows, beforehand,
that the guest does not drink milk, then he/she should not serve milk or dairy products. That would be a polite thing to do.
Once, I found out my guest cannot take tomatoes. (Some allergy). She was thoughtful to tell me before the invitation date of the dinner.
I served them something else instead of Spaghetti, which I had originally planned.

Not rude to bring what you are able to drink but it may be thought rude not to share. I would bring a two-liter bottle so you could share with others at the meal. After all, as a guest, you should bring something (be it a beverage or desert) as a common courtesy.

That would be inappropriate. If you were to bring a 2 liter to share (in lieu of a bottle of wine) it might be ok, but a 20 oz. clearly isn't meant for sharing. If you don't drink milk, you should just ask for water.

How old are you? People aren't expected to drink milk with their dinner unless they're five. If you bring pop, make sure it's big enough to share it with everyone. It would be rude if you brought it to have only for yourself.
If you don't want to bring enough to share, just drink water with dinner.

I don't drink milk but that sounds a bit weird. I would take a bottle of wine though.
My mother takes her own teabags and tea cups when she goes somewhere, it drives me crazy and I tell her it is so rude. If someone did it to me I would be like what, my cups aren't good enough for you??

Yes. But not rude to bring plenty of pop for all. That way, you can have your pop and the others will have the choice.

Who expects you to drink milk with dinner? Are you under 12 years of age?

It's very rude. As suggested, bring enough pop for everyone or request water. It would be rude also for you to bring enough pop for yourself. One never brings one's own food or drink to another's home when invited for dinner.
