MUCH OR MANY

or 'much'.

 Many = for countable objects

 People: many
1. Were there (many, much) people at the party last night?

  + 'Can I count people, and does it make sense with a number before 'people'?
  + Were there '5' people at the party last night?

  + It makes sense to say that there were 5 people, so use 'many'

 Much = for objects you can't count 
1. How (many, much) milk do you want? 

+ 'Can I count milk, and does it make sense with a number before 'milk’? 
+ Do you want 2 milk? 
+ Putting '2' in front of milk doesn't make sense, so use 'much'

 2. How (many, much) bottles of milk do you want? 

+ 'Can I count bottles, and does it make sense with a number before 'bottles’? 

+ Do you want 2 bottles of milk? 

+ Putting '2' in front of bottles of milk makes sense, so use 'many' because you can count bottles.
