Why weniger and not wenige?
The -er is the comparative affix, turning wenig "little" to weniger "less".
As for why there is no gender/number/case ending (one might expect wenigere Milch with -e to agree with feminine accusative Milch) -- I think this is simply an exception to remember.
viel (much) also usually has no gender/number/case ending in the singular: ich trinke viel Milch "I drink a lot of milk", and mehr (more) never does: ich trinke mehr Milch als du "I drink more milk than you".
